NewsRegionsAir's Future Uncertain On Failure To Meet Ops TargetsAviation Daily11/20/2006, page 11Lori Ranson
Continental has put its Connection partner RegionsAir on notice that it plans to terminate its contract with the airline covering essential air service (EAS) routes from certain airports in West Virginia.
At the same time, RegionsAir is also searching for a new owner. If the airline names a buyer soon, it could continue to provide service to meet Continental's expectations.
Continental noted RegionsAir wasn't coming through with the operating performance the major carrier needs for a Continental Connection type service. In September, RegionsAir failed to post a 98.5% completion factor, and about 90% of flights operated on time in the three markets it flies for Continental. An official with the Mid-Ohio Regional Airport Authority in Parkersburg, W.Va., said the carrier's completion rate improved in November, but previous rates were erratic.
RegionsAir battled a range of mechanical problems with its Saab 340As, the airport official noted, from a broken latch in the drink cart galley to engine change-outs. Before entering service with RegionsAir, the planes logged a considerable amount of time in storage, the official said.
Higher-than-expected maintenance costs and revenue shortfalls prompted RegionsAir to search for a new buyer.
The three West Virginia airports served by RegionsAir are working with the U.S. Transportation Dept. to issue an emergency request for proposals to find a replacement airline to fly the EAS routes. -LR
