Republic Airways amends Delta agreement to add six new E170 Aircraft

Republic Airways Holdings has amended its capacity purchase agreement with Delta Air Lines to provide for the addition of six dual-class E170 aircraft. This follows a previously announced amendment in January 2011 in which Delta added eight Embraer 170 aircraft to its capacity purchase agreement with the Company. The additional six aircraft are expected to be placed into Delta Connection service between July and October 2011 and will have a term of six years from the in-service date for Delta.
