Headquarters

Indianapolis, United States

Shuttle America was a regional airline headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, operating as a code-share partner for major U.S. carriers. Founded in 1995, the airline provided regional feeder services under the banners of larger airlines, most notably United Express and Delta Connection. The carrier operated a fleet of regional jet aircraft, primarily Embraer ERJ-170 and ERJ-175 jets, connecting smaller markets to major hub airports across the United States. Shuttle America was known for its role as a capacity purchase agreement operator, meaning major carriers contracted it to operate flights on their behalf. Shuttle America ceased independent operations in 2017 when its parent company, Republic Airways Holdings, merged Shuttle America's operations into Republic Airlines. The consolidation was part of a broader restructuring effort by Republic Airways following its emergence from bankruptcy protection.
