Right size. 

Right cost. 

Right time. 

In challenging times, the last thing you need are jets that are either too large or too 

small for the job. Embraer offers aircraft that are the right size, at the right cost. And just 

in time to take advantage of a shifting industry that has put a premium on efficiency. Our 

family of E-Jets is based upon the economics of 70-to-110 seating, which will right-size 

your fleet. For the right combination of range,

Report from the Chairman 

As the post 9-11 transformation of the airline industry continues, America’s 

regional airlines have prospered by continuing to create value for their 

customers—both major airline partners and individual passengers—through safe, 

efficient and reliable operations which connect virtually every community in North 

America to each other and to the world. Working together with our employees 

and suppliers, we’ve been able to enhance our offerings during this season of 

change in the industry, providing more service and greater price competition to 

cities large and small throughout North America. 

The Regional Airline Association plays a strategic role in the industry’s success by 

supporting our 43 member airlines, which now transport one out of every five domestic passengers. The organization is a critical 

force in shaping regulatory and legislative issues that affect our operations throughout the United States and increasingly in international 

markets. As the collective voice of the regional airlines, RAA continues its work with the federal agencies and on the Hill 

in safety, regulatory and technology issues and the preservation of air service to small and midsize communities that otherwise 

would not have access to the national air transportation system. 

Over the next 18 months, we will be called on to speak to many issues and policy matters that will have major bearing on our 

future as an industry. Of them, the reauthorization of the FAA Airport and Airways Trust Fund is undoubtedly the most significant 

and arguably among the most complex to resolve. That said, there is no question that, along with ensuring adequate funding, 

any new approach must provide a means for FAA and DOT to increase airport capacity and modernize the air traffic control 

systems in order to support forecasted growth in passenger demand, a growing percentage of which will be served by regional 

airlines. 

I encourage every industry leader, whether airline or supplier, to follow these developments closely and to respond to RAA’s 

request for support if called upon to reinforce an industry view to your elected representatives. 

I would be remiss if I did not recognize and thank the Associate Member Council (AMC) for their continued partnership to 

achieve the industry’s objectives. The AMC has worked hard to build support from our supplier partners and this year achieved 

some important milestones with the first awards of the RAA scholarship and seminars focused on best practices. I want to thank 

AMC Chairman Steve Alexandris for his efforts to forward this group’s goals in the interest of our more than 240 associate 

members. 

It has been an honor to serve as the 2006 RAA Chairman, and I greatly appreciate the work of the RAA Board and our talented 

staff in Washington, DC. My thanks also to the airline and associate members who have offered assistance in support of our work 

with Congress, the regulatory agencies, the media and the traveling public as we seek to educate them about the important, vital 

role the regional airlines play in our nations’ air transportation system, in the economy and in the well being of the communities 

we serve. 

Sincerely, 

Jeff Pinneo

Year at a Glance 


2005 YEAR AT A GLANCE

Year at a Glance 

Regional carriers have preserved their reputation as “the low 

cost producers” of commercial aviation. While regional 

airlines operate one third of the US commercial airline fleet 

and account for nearly 40 percent of all scheduled flights, the 

pressures on the industry to maintain or reduce costs 

continues. The various hurdles the regionals face in doing so 

continue to grow larger. It is a fact of life that regional 

airlines are directly affected by the fortunes of their major 

partners and the year 2005 was certainly no exception, as 

carriers responded to both the challenges and emerging 

opportunities associated with industry wide change. 

On any given day there are nearly 15,000 regional airline 

flights in the United States, with regional jet service 

accounting for an increasing share of industry operations. 

Nearly 151 million passengers were transported by regionals 

in 2005, with one in five domestic airline passengers now 

traveling on a regional carrier. While the number of passengers 

transported by regional airlines continue to grow, the 

number of airlines has declined about 20 percent over the 

last four years. 

RAA estimates that the industry employs 58,000 professionals, 

each working hard every day to ensure the safety and 

security of the passengers. Due to the great work of the 

industry’s employees, regional airlines posted an excellent 

safety record in 2005, with accidents per 100,000 departures 

dropping to a four-year low. 

While regional carriers continue their strong growth in 2006, 

the bad news is rising fuel jet fuel prices, with the price of oil 

up 24 percent in 2005 is expected to remain at high levels. 

The increases in fuel costs have eliminated much of the cost 

savings both regional and major airlines have been able to 

achieve over the last two years. 

The statistics in Year at a Glance provide evidence of the 

industry’s success and its critical contribution to the national 

air transportation system. Regional airline enplanements 

increased by 11.4 percent to 150.8 million passengers in 

2005, an impressive feat given the challenges facing the 

industry. Regional airline revenue passenger miles (RPM) 

soared 16.6 percent to 65.52 billion, compared to 56.21 

billion in 2004. Regional jets accounted for 88.4 percent of 

the RPMs as compared to 80.8 percent in the previous year. 


Average load factors increased by 2.4 points to 70.43 

percent, the highest levels since the introduction of the 

regional jets in 1993. 

Code sharing continues to be the cornerstone of regional 

airline operations. As of May 2006, 32 of the nation’s top 50 

regional air carriers used the two-letter designator code of a 

major or national airline to list their flights. In total, there 

were 59 code-sharing agreements in existence as of May 

2006. These relationships vary from outright ownership by 

the major/national carrier (8 airlines), to partial ownership by 

the major airline (3 carriers), to pure marketing alliances 

devoid of any ownership by the major airlines (48 carriers). 

In 2005 96 percent of the industry's passengers were transported 

under code-sharing agreements. 

Regional airline operations constitute an increasingly important 

proportion of the operations in the US national airspace 

system, serving 750 North American airports in 2005, up 2.0 

percent from 2004. Regional airlines, while known for 

providing links from smaller cities, have become significant 

stakeholders at the major airports, accounting for an average 

of 45 – 77 percent of operations at the three busiest airports 

in the US (Chicago O’Hare, Atlanta and Houston Intercontinental). 

In 2005, regional airlines began to experience a shrinking of 

the RJ fleet with 5 percent less jets as compared to 2004, 

while turboprop aircraft declined by 8.0 percent of the fleet. 

By 2005, there were 2,676 aircraft in scheduled service with 

regional carriers, a decrease of 2.9 percent. Available seat 

miles (ASMs) increased 12.6 percent to 93.04 billion in 2005 

from 82.61 billion in 2004. The average seating capacity of 

regional aircraft also increased to 40.4 seats, up by 1.3 

percent over the previous year. The average annual utilization 

per aircraft was 2,682 hours, a notable 12.3 percent increase 

over 2004, and the highest rate recorded in the previous 10 

years. 

Regional airlines continued their significant growth trend in 

2005, as major airlines utilized these aircraft in markets 

where reduced traffic and lower yields cannot support larger 

jets. By the end of 2005, 1,620 regional jets were operating 

in the United States.

Regional Airline Safety 

The regional airline safety statistics provided below contain data for operations in the 48 contiguous states, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and 

the US Virgin Islands. This region accounts for 98 percent of total regional airline passengers. Data for operations including Alaska are 

detailed in a separate chart below. 

In 2005, nearly 151 million passengers were provided safe and efficient access to the nation’s air transportation on regional airlines. 

Under the direction and oversight of their management teams, the flight operating, training, maintenance and safety departments are 

constantly examining their operating and safety practices. The safety of the passengers and employees is the highest priority of the 

industry.

AIRCRAFT

Aircraft 

In 2005 the number of passenger aircraft in service with US 

regional airlines declined by 2.9 percent to 2,676 compared to 

2004. The decline was highlighted by a reduction in 50-seat 

regional jets. as the major airlines rationalized short-haul service. 

The average passenger seat capacity of regional aircraft grew 

from 39.9 seats in 2004 to 40.4 in 2005, a slight 1.3 percent 

increase. While the average passenger trip length increased 4.6 

percent to 437 miles, average annual utilization per aircraft 

increased 12.3 percent to 2,682 hours in 2005. The 2005 figure 

represents the highest utilization rate in the past 10 years. 

Although declining in size by 8.1 percent, the turboprop aircraft 

fleet of 683 aircraft continued to play a very critical role in 2005, 

providing service to many small and medium size communities. 

The turboprops were 26 percent of the fleet in service at the end 

of the year. The regional jet fleet increased to 61 percent of the 

regional airline fleet as compared to 52 percent the previous 

year. At the end of 2005, there were 1,620 regional jets in service 

as compared to 1,628 in 2004. Regional jets accounted for 88.4 

percent of the revenue passenger miles flown by the regional 

airline industry as compared to 60 percent a year earlier. 

Aircraft operated under Federal Aviation Regulation Part 121 

(those aircraft with 10 or more passenger seats operated in 

scheduled service) accounted for 83 percent of the US regional 

airline fleet, a 0.5 percent decrease over the previous year. 

Aircraft operating under these rules provided 97 percent of the 

industry’s revenue passenger miles. 


The Bombardier CRJ100/200 series accounted for the largest 

percentage of the industry fleet with 636 aircraft, the CRJ700 

added another 203 units and the CRJ900 introduced 38 more to 

the manufacturer’s regional jet total of 877 aircraft. Bombardier 

turboprop aircraft, the Dash 8-100/200 Series, accounted for an 

additional 110 aircraft raising the company’s fleet share to 51.3 

percent. Embraer’s market presence increased with 717 regional 

jets (ERJ135/140/145/170s) and 73 turboprops (Embraer Brasilias) 

capturing 37.4 percent of the total fleet seats. Other turboprop 

manufacturers ranked accordingly, the Saab 340 at 4 percent of 

the total fleet seats with 121 units, the ATR 72 with a 3.3 

percent share flying 52 aircraft and the Beech 1900 flying 144 

units and a 2.7 percent share. 

Transportation of cargo has become important to the bottom line 

of many regional airlines and the size and sophistication of the 

all-cargo fleet reflects this trend. The number of aircraft utilized 

solely for cargo carriage increasing this year to 1,571 aircraft 

compared to 1,555 in 2004. Turboprop aircraft continued to 

dominate the cargo industry, accounting for 59 percent of the 

fleet. The Cessna Caravan led the fleet with 356 aircraft, down 

slightly from the 376 operated in 2004.

Regional Airlines — Where do we go from here? 

By Raymond E. Neidl 

Calyon Securities 

Consolidation May Be in the Works as the Strong Get Stronger 

Overview 

Some of the US based regional carriers 

with less financial resources are expected 

to face an uncertain future as their 

customers, the major legacy carriers, 

continue to cut costs. Some industry 

observers have expressed that margins 

may come down to as low as 5 or 6 

percent. While we believe there will be 

continuing pressures on margins, we do 

not expect that industry margins will be 

cut to those levels, but we believe that the 

regional partners will have to take on 

more risk such as aircraft ownership. The 

regional feeders are too important to the 

legacy carriers and despite sharp costcutting; 

the regional’s can still do the job 

more economically. The legacy carriers will 

not kill the “goose that lays the golden 

eggs for them.” If margins are reduced to 

mid-single digit, the regionals would not 

be able to raise capital. 

Airline Sector: Operating Data Totals 


The regional airlines that we follow that 

have a diversified customer base such as 

SkyWest, Mesa and Republic already own 

and finance their aircraft which puts them 

in a dominate position to retain and 

obtain new business. Carriers with one 

customer, such as Pinnacle, Mesaba and 

ExpressJet, and do not have ownership of 

their aircraft face a more difficult future in 

not only trying to obtain new contracts 

but also in retaining their current ones. In 

the event that their larger legacy partner 

wants to get out of the ownership of 

regional jets (RJs), which we believe is a 

distinct possibility, Pinnacle and Mesaba 

have limited resources to finance aircraft 

acquisitions. Asset-backed financing is 

available but may be more expensive for 

regional’s which would impede them in 

seeking business. 

Growth in the regional sector will be in 

the 70-to 90-seat RJs as "scope clause" 

restrictions are loosened at the major 

carriers and a surplus of 50-seat aircraft 

develops as some demand switches to 

larger aircraft. The key beneficiary of 

supplying these aircraft should be Embraer 

with its new E170/190 series (70- to 110seats 

depending on model) which fits the 

larger sized RJ market. However, the pilots 

at the legacy carriers will resist “scope 

clause” liberalization” in both the number 

and size of RJs allowed even when their 

employers are scratching for survival in 

bankruptcy which means, as can be seen 

in the Northwest bankruptcy case, 

progress will be slow. For distances less 

than 500 miles we believe that the larger 

(70-seat) new technology turboprops may 

become come into demand in North 

America to get around some of these 

restrictions without having to fight with 

their pilots unions. Even though out of 

favor here since the advent of the RJ over 

a decade ago because of the image of 

propellers being old fashioned and noisy, 

larger prop aircraft have been used in

Europe. With new technology and high 

fuel costs, airlines in North America may 

be taking another look at the Bombardier 

product. We also believe that the traveling 

public will now be more receptive to this 

type of aircraft for shorter route segments. 

We believe that the industry will evolve 

into three or four strong regional carriers 

bidding for the business from multiple 

legacy carriers. Those that will win will be 

the best operators with the lowest cost 

structures and the best financial resources 

to sustain this growth and acquire aircraft. 

The major carriers, as they continue to try 

to cut costs and streamline operations, will 

become more dependant on the regionals 

and in all probability would rather contract 

this segment of the business out rather 

than operate it themselves for various 

reasons including the tieing up of 

resources and to gain the flexibility of 

changing operators if costs became too 

high. Nevertheless it will remain an important 

add-on to the legacy carriers systems 

in that they will need the important and 

frequent feed from smaller cities into their 

hubs to increase traffic flow over their 

longer distance routes that they will be 

flying themselves. 

As a result, some regional carriers will face 

uncertain growth prospects and we expect 

there will be a glut of 50-seat jets as larger 

aircraft come more into use. In the long 

run, we may be seeing the regional sector 

evolve into three or four large and wellcapitalized 

carriers; excluding AMR owned 

Airline Sector: Operating Statistics 

American Eagle and Alaska Air owned 

Horizon Air. We do not expect to see 

either of these regionals sold or become 

independent anytime soon, although we 

do expect Comair to be sold (if its cost 

problems are fixed) or liquidated (if problems 

are not solved). 

The secret to success seems to be the size 

and strength of the balance sheet of 

regional carriers as well as their borrowing 

capability as legacy partners may require 

them to take on additional risks. We 

expect many regional carriers will be 

building their cash positions to participate 

in this possible industry shakeout in 

bidding for new business or in possibly 

making acquisitions. In our opinion, 

building cash reserves is critical for future 

growth because we believe the trend will 

be towards regional carriers being required 

to finance aircraft on their own versus 

ownership by their legacy partners. 

A long-term threat to the future growth of 

the regional industry is the probability that 

at some point some of the legacy carriers 

will disappear through merger or liquidation. 

The country has too many large 

legacy airlines with too many hubs. When 

the industry evolves to fewer large legacy 

carriers there will be less of a need for 

regional feed since one of the benefits of 

legacy airline mergers will be the elimination 

of marginal hubs. As hubs disappear, 

some of the regional capacity will be 

transferred to larger hubs with the balance 

being eliminated. We do not see major 

industry consolidation, however, for at 

least the next few years. 

Current developments 

SkyWest remains the predominate regional 

airline and is aggressively bidding for business 

from legacy carriers that it currently 

does not do business with, particularly 

Northwest and Continental. This business 

would be beyond their current contracts at 

United and Delta. Northwest may have 

some business to auction off but in our 

view the new pilot contract is a disappointment 

in that the final agreement 

with its pilots included only modest 

changes in the “scope clause” restrictions. 

The carrier, which had one of the most 

restrictive “scope clause” restrictions and 

the greatest need for larger RJs because of 

this and the many long and thin routes 

that it operates was able to only win the 

usage of an additional 90 RJs of 70 seats 

(none of the larger 90-seaters) which did 

not come close to the hundreds many 

observers, including us, were expecting. 

This shows the continuing fear of this type 

of aircraft and the power that the pilots 

union still has in this area. At least half of 

this new business has to go to a Northwest 

owned subsidiary to be flown by 

Northwest pilots. 

In the case of Northwest's business, its 

two regional carriers, Pinnacle and 

Mesaba, could be at risk. We do not 

necessarily believe that Pinnacle will lose 

its current business flying the 50-seat

regional jets (RJ) but it may have a hard 

time winning new business with the larger 

RJs which is where the growth opportunity 

will be. Additionally, although there have 

been no such indications, we believe that 

there is a threat that Northwest may want 

to be out of the business of owning RJs 

and may require its regional partner to 

purchase its 50-seaters in order to do business 

there. If SKYW offers a good enough 

deal, Northwest may not only ignore PNCL 

for new business but may also ask PNCL 

to buy 50-seat aircraft for the current business 

as well. PNCL has good operations 

and low costs but may lack the financial 

resources to buy 50-seaters much less 70seaters. 

Continental is unhappy with its regional 

feeder ExpressJet and is now in a position 

where it could terminate the contract with 

twelve months notice. Already they have 

trimmed the contract by 69 aircraft, some 

Airline Sector: Operating Statistics Forecast 

of which may be replaced by large (70seat) 

turboprops which would get around 

their tight “scope clause” restrictions with 

their pilots since they are not jets. Continental 

cannot use the larger RJs due to 

“scope clause” restrictions in its current 

pilot’s contract. There may still be some 

new business for regionals but SkyWest 

will not have the field to themselves and 

possibly could not handle all of the opportunities 

that may become available. 

Therefore, we believe that there will be 

opportunities for other regionals for new 

business, including those that have good 

operating records, low costs, financial 

resources and possibly already have operational 

experience with larger RJs, which 

would include Republic and Mesa. 

Although under its current contract Continental 

cannot reduce capacity with 

ExpressJet by more than the 25 percent it 

already has, Continental can terminate the 

entire contract with one year's advance 

notice. In our opinion, transferring entire 

contracts would be highly risky for Northwest 

and Continental, given that we 

believe Pinnacle and ExpressJet provide 

high and satisfactory levels of service and 

transferring the entire contract could lead 

to service disruptions. However, this is not 

out of the realm of possibility in the event 

that Northwest or Continental receives a 

compelling bid from a competitor. 

In the case of Delta's regional feed business, 

we believe SKYW would be a prime 

candidate to further grow its business with 

Delta. It can purchase Comair from Delta if 

or when Comair can get its cost structure 

down. We believe SKYW would be a good 

candidate as an acquirer because of its 

current working relationship with Delta 

and its history of having already purchased 

Delta's other regional unit, ASA. If Comair 

cannot get its costs under control it could 

be forced to liquidate and SKYW would

have a chance of getting this business by 

picking up the pieces. 

In addition, Delta's recent announcement 

of its plans to enhance domestic feed for 

its international operations at JFK with 

regional flying further offers growth 

opportunities for stronger regionals. Today, 

Mesa announced it is supporting Delta in 

this endeavor by expanding its strategic 

partnership with Delta, under which it will 

fly 12, 37-seat de Havilland Dash 8 

aircraft. The Dash 8s covered under this 

agreement are readily available, in our 

opinion, and will be incremental to the 16 

Dash 8 aircraft currently operated by 

Mesa. The term of the new agreement is 

three years. The aircraft will be operated 

under a capacity purchase arrangement 

similar to Mesa's existing Delta Connection 

agreement under which it flies 

50-seat regional jets. We believe the 

increased regional jet flying at JFK will be 

handled by Comair. 

These potential developments could be a 

major opportunity for SkyWest and a 

major threat to Pinnacle, Mesaba and 

ExpressJet. If these developments occur, 

we believe the strong will get stronger and 

the weak will get weaker. This fits into our 

theory that consolidation will occur in the 

Airline Sector: Stock Price Performance 

Indices 

regional industry and the survivors will 

have the scale and financial capacity 

necessary to diversify operations and seek 

new business. SkyWest will not have the 

field for new business all to themselves 

and possibly could not handle all of the 

opportunities available. Therefore, we 

believe that there will be opportunities for 

other regionals for new business, including 

those that have good operating records, 

low costs, financial resources and possibly 

already have operational experience with 

larger RJs, which would include Republic 

and Mesa.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Conclusion 

The mix of regional jet demand by legacy 

carriers is more towards 70-seat aircraft 

and away from 50-seaters. It is generally 

perceived that there may be a surplus 

developing of 50-seat and smaller regional 

jets which are mainly used in the North 

American market. There is little demand 

for this type of aircraft outside North 

America since turboprop aircraft of this 

size are used in Europe and Asia. As pilot 

“scope clause” restrictions are liberalized 

we believe that the demand trend towards 

larger RJs (70 to 90 seats) will continue. 

Embraer is looking at growth in the larger 

RJ market and believes that most new 50seat 

production will be used for 

replacement or business jets in coming 

years. 

Airline Sector: Liquidity Statistics 


We see the regional industry continuing to 

evolve, not only towards larger RJ aircraft 

but to the regional carriers bearing more 

risk, including aircraft ownership and even 

possibly part or all of fuel price risk. If the 

regional’s have to assume this additional 

risk, we believe that this would put a 

break on legacy partners trying to significantly 

reduce regional business margins. 

The reasoning here is that if regional 

margins became too low, financing the 

acquisition of jets would become difficult 

and the regional feed model, which is very 

important to the legacy carriers, may not 

work. 

We may be seeing the regional sector 

evolve into three or four large and wellcapitalized 

carriers (excluding AMR owned 

American Eagle and Alaska Air owned 

Horizon). In order to take on the additional 

risks that may occur, size and the 

strength of the balance sheet as well as 

borrowing capability will be important. 

Many regionals, we believe, will be 

building their cash positions to participate 

in this possible industry shakeout in 

bidding for new business or in possibly 

making acquisitions.

Major Airline Restructuring Creates New 

Opportunities for Regionals 

Introduction 

The US regional airline industry has 

continued to deliver strong passenger 

returns during a period of major airline 

restructuring. The network carrier 

restructurings have created additional 

opportunities for regional airlines for 

market and traffic growth in a changed 

landscape marked by historically high fuel 

prices and lower passenger yields which 

in turn has put large pressures on overall 

cost structures and aircraft unit costs — 

both at the major and regional airline 

level. These developments have enabled 

regional airlines to deploy larger aircraft, 

increase aircraft utilization, and in some 

cases continue to fly turboprop fleets. 

US regional airlines’ traffic growth has 

achieved annual average growth of almost 

20 percent over the last 10 years even 

though the number of regional airlines in 

operation has declined by 40 percent and 

the regional aircraft fleet has averaged 

only a 2 percent increase per year over 

that period — illustrating the enormous 

efficiency gains that the regional airline 

industry has achieved over a relatively 

short period of time. 


The US regional airline environment is 

now comprised of mega-regional airlines 

with low cost structures with multiple 

major airline codeshare agreements — 

including fixed fee contracts coupled 

with some pro-rate agreements. The new 

competitive setting dictates that regional 

airlines become flexible, competitive, 

opportunistic, and operationally adroit as 

regional airlines are now competing with 

branded network carriers as well as low 

cost airlines. 

Worldwide, regional airlines are facing a 

range of issues depending on their 

region of operation. Several of the 

regions of the world are facing the 

common concern of growth of low cost 

operators and the potential that has on 

their ability to expand. Unlike the United 

States, which has a fairly well defined 

structure of major and regional airlines, 

many regions still do not have a strong 

balance and integration between 

regional and mainline airlines. How 

these and other issues are resolved will 

determine the growth of passenger 

traffic and the type of regional aircraft 

that will be required. 

Within North America, the following 

major drivers will determine the size and 

shape of future regional airline operations. 

• Pilot scope relaxation 

• Continuation of route pushdown from 

major to regional 

• Regional airline profitability and the 

ability of regional airlines to acquire 

new aircraft 

• Passenger yield environment 

• Cost structure control and reduction 

• Operational efficiency and excellence 

Forecast Highlights and 

Summary 

The Rolls-Royce regional aircraft forecast is 

divided into major regions of the world 

with the US, Canada, and the Caribbean 

comprising the North American region. 

Further, the forecast covers seat categories 

ranging from 30 to 90 seats in passenger 

service. Rolls-Royce is forecasting that the 

North American market will take delivery 

of approximately 1,500 regional-size 

aircraft over the next 10 years. This will 

be a mix of both large turboprop aircraft 

and regional jet aircraft that will largely 

exist in the hub-and-spoke environment

although more point-to-point flying will be 

apparent over the forecast period. 

The delivery pattern for aircraft will be 

dominated by regional jet aircraft in the 

70- to 90-seat category which, because of 

relaxation of pilot scope, will enable 

regional airlines to provide seamless 

passenger service from their major airline 

partners at low seat mile unit costs. It is 

expected that the US will take a large 

proportion of deliveries of regional aircraft 

worldwide, likely taking more than 50 

percent of total world demand for 30- to 

90-seat regional aircraft. 

Available seat mile growth for the 

regional airline industry over the next 10 

years within the North American market 

will average about 6 percent per year and 

will be a multiple of gross domestic 

product growth. US regional airline 

passenger enplanement growth has developed 

into an exponential pattern over the 

last 35 years and may grow to a third of a 

billion passengers by 2015 if growth is 

maintained at 10 percent per year over 

the next 10 years. A more moderate and 

baseline growth rate of 6 percent 

suggests passenger enplanements of a 

quarter of a billion by 2015. (See charts to 

right.) 

Turboprop Forecast and 

Developments 

Turboprop aircraft continue to be an 

important element in regional airline 

deployment patterns. Although all sizes of 

turboprops in passenger service have 

declined substantially over the years (753 

turboprops of all sizes are currently in 

passenger service in the US compared with 

1,680 in 1995), there is a recent revival of 

turboprop fortunes. This renewal is due to 

high fuel prices which have made the 

turboprop much more valuable on shorter 

sector routes than small regional jets. 

Turboprop fleets, rather than being 

replaced, are now being redeployed and 

removal plans in some cases have been 

postponed. Moreover, turboprop aircraft 

have seen an increase in order backlog, 

the first time in eight years.

The North American forecast indicates a 

delivery demand for 125 new turboprops 

over the next 10 years, many of which will 

be in the large aircraft category, a result of 

the necessity of lower unit costs and 

better cabin comfort. Smaller turboprops 

will continue to be removed from service 

and thus, total in-service turboprops over 

the forecast period will continue to fall. 

While we are expecting turboprop deliveries 

to continue through much of the 

forecast period, we are forecasting that 

current production aircraft as well as used 

aircraft will meet aircraft turboprop fleet

requirements; hence, no new turboprop

30- to 50-Seat Regional Jet 

Forecast and Developments 

The 30- to 50-seat regional jet is the 

workhorse of the US regional airline fleet. 

Partly because of pilot scope restrictions 

and availability of aircraft, the in-service 

50-seat regional jet fleet now numbers 

over 1,300 aircraft in the US and almost 

1,400 in North America. The aircraft has 

proved to work effectively in the hub and

spoke network on both short and long 

haul missions. 

However, as with all aircraft, high fuel 

price and a lower yield environment have 

reduced profit margins on the aircraft 

raising breakeven load factors. Together 

with a relaxation in US pilot scope 

contracts permitting larger aircraft at the 

regional level plus a succession of airline 

bankruptcies and reorganizations, the 30to 

50-seat regional jet market has 

matured and has likely reached its high 

point. 

Despite these developments, this 

segment will continue to be the backbone 

of regional airline operations for 

many years to come. The major strength 

of the aircraft will be on routes between 

250 and 600 miles with the ability to 

maintain high frequency levels and 

market presence. 

The Roll-Royce forecast indicates that 

about 100 incremental 50-seat regional 

jet aircraft deliveries will be required in 

the North American market over the next 

10 years. The market may fill some of its 

fleet requirements with used regional jet 

aircraft. Beyond the 10 year forecast 

period, we are projecting a significant 

replacement market beginning in the 

2015 timeframe. This fleet renewal will 


take place in order to satisfy some market 

spacing and segmentation that will exist 

primarily in the US. Delivery volumes of 

60-80 aircraft per year are forecast. A 

new 50-seat aircraft will require better 

operating economics and comfort 

compared to today’s product. 

70- to 90-Seat Regional Jet 

Forecast and Developments 

The 70-90 seat regional jet market will 

achieve high growth through the forecast 

period. We are projecting approximately 

1,300 aircraft deliveries in this seat 

segment over the next 10 years within 

North America. Order backlogs within this 

segment indicate there are approximately 

250 aircraft on firm order. Regional 

airlines are now increasing aircraft gauge 

across their systems using larger aircraft 

to lower unit costs in medium to higher 

density routes as well as replacing some

50-seat regional jets on market pairs

Much of the 70- to 90-seat demand will 

occur in the US, a result of pilot scope 

relaxation relating to aircraft size and 

number of units permitted in each airline’s 

pilot contract. Nonetheless, pilot scope 

continues to remain and although relaxed, 

still puts significant limits on regional jet 

potential. 

The arrival of larger regional jets is blurring 

the lines between regional airlines 

and major carriers. The orderbook for 70to 

90-seat aircraft is made up of regional 

airlines as well as large independent 

major airlines, low cost carriers and 

leasing companies. This diversity of operators 

illustrates the strength and flexibility 

of these aircraft and why they will dominate 

deliveries over the next 10 years.

Labor Relations Update 

By Jerry Glass, President – F&H Solutions 

As expected, the unprecedented change and demand for financial 

restructuring that has dominated the legacy airline industry 

has filtered its way to the regional industry, bringing its own 

unique set of demands for change and financial efficiency. Even 

though most segments of the regional industry have been profitable 

and relatively healthy during this extended period of 

financial turmoil after 9/11, regional airline industry management, 

labor leaders and employees are dealing with pressures 

related to fuel costs, operating efficiencies and overcapacity. 

Furthermore, the completion of judicial restructuring efforts by 

United Airlines and US Airways (and its subsequent merger with 

America West) set off a chain reaction that has been felt across 

the industry. Faced with mounting losses and more efficient 

competitors, Delta Air Lines and Northwest Airlines followed US 

Airways and United into Chapter 11 protection. American 

Airlines and Continental Airlines continue to pursue their own 

set of efficiencies and operating changes on a voluntary basis. 

Low-cost carriers that the legacy carriers are trying to emulate 

have also struggled. All of these factors have lead to unprecedented 

change for the regional industry. 

The most obvious change has been a game of musical chairs as 

mainline carriers in Chapter 11 renegotiate code-share relationships, 

secure financial investment, sever existing contractual 

relationships, and develop new partnerships with regional 

airlines. United started the process early on its bankruptcy 

proceedings, resulting in United, US Airways, Delta, and 


Jerry Glass 

Continental all entering into business relationships with different 

regional airlines. In probably the most unusual result, Air 

Wisconsin actually became a significant investor in the US 

Airways-America West merger. More importantly, the contractual 

relationships between mainline and regional airlines have 

changed, exposing regional carriers to new business pressures 

and resulting in Chapter 11 filings of some regional carriers to 

facilitate their own restructurings.

Consequently, labor relations in the regional airline industry have 

been marked by many of the same issues facing the major 

carriers. Comparably high unit and operating costs of smaller 

regional jets is encouraging growth in the larger 70 to 100-seat 

fleet of regional jet aircraft. Who will fly those aircraft — mainline 

or regional airline employees — and at what rates and work 

rules is one of the key issues facing management and labor. 

Mainline labor leaders hope to protect jobs by securing scope 

clause language that puts at least some of that flying at the 

mainline carriers. Regional industry management sees the 

growth opportunities of these larger regional jets, and want to 

secure pay rates and work rules that give them a distinct advantage 

in operating those aircraft. 

In addition, the industry migration to larger regional jets has put 

added pressure on making the operating costs of smaller regional 

jets more competitive, as demonstrated by the Comair bankruptcy 

proceeding. But other operators of smaller regional jets 

are facing similar demands for lower operating costs in order to 

make their feeder service to their mainline partners affordable in 

this era of low costs and transparent consumer pricing. 

Ultimately, all of these factors have helped to fashion the growth 

patterns in the regional industry. While some carriers are entering 

into new agreements with mainline partners, they are essentially 

just redeploying their existing fleets and employees. Other 

regional carriers such as those under the Republic and Mesa 

holding companies, respectively, are realizing significant growth 

and expansion into the larger regional jet market, due to their 

efficiencies and competitive labor costs. 

With fuel costs unabated, and many experts predicting that oil 

prices will remain at current levels for the foreseeable future, the 

demand for competitive pay rates and work rules in the regional 

airline industry can only take regional carriers part way to their 

goal of financial success. Virtually all aspects of their operations 

are under scrutiny, especially as it relates to labor costs. Management 

and labor will need to find new ways to work together on 

issues like pensions, health insurance, sick leave and workers 

compensation, as well as other quality of life issues that round 

out overall compensation packages and labor costs. 

As we have seen over the past several years, crowded airports 

and airplanes do not necessarily translate into airline profitability 

and employee rewards. Management will need to maintain an 

improved and constant state of open communication to keep 

employees informed and educated on the changing nature of the 

business and the need to be able to adapt and react to that 

change. While the regional industry has been relatively successful 

over the past decade, that past success will not predetermine 

future success. The legacy carriers have made some very difficult 

decisions over the past several years – retiring aircraft, laying off 

tens of thousands of employees, terminating defined benefit 

pensions and retiree medical benefits, and severing business rela- 

tionships with vendors – making it abundantly clear that they are 

prepared to do what might be unpopular but necessary in order 

to survive. The regional carriers that have strong labor-management 

partnerships that will allow them to be nimble, efficient 

and competitive will be the ones that survive and hopefully thrive 

in this era.

The AMC Chairman’s Report 

Through the hard work and dedication of past and present associate members, the AMC 

was able to accomplish several firsts this past year. The AMC is pleased to report that it 

awarded the first scholarships to deserving students of member universities. With the 

support and coordination of the RAA staff, the AMC presented its first seminar to the 

regional airlines, with a focus on quality assurance and cost reduction. Finally, the AMC 

is now 15 members strong for the first time, increasing the diversity of the backgrounds 

and ideas represented. 

Did you know that the golf tournament raffle and donations are the sole funding mechanism 

for the RAA Scholarship? The AMC would like to see the scholarship endowment 

continue to build over time. The AMC plans to take steps to increase the awareness of 

the scholarship, as well as offer different ways for the conference attendees to donate to 

the education of our future industry leaders. 

During the 2006 Annual Conference in Dallas, associate member GE Aviation presented 

a Lean Six Sigma seminar to both the Operations Forum and to the General Session. The 

AMC will continue to support similar programs and utilize its resources to develop 

programs of value and interest to the regional airlines and associate members. 

The AMC intends to increase its visibility at future conferences. As a key intermediary 

between the regional airlines and the associate members, we want to make sure 

everyone is aware of who we are and the purpose we serve. We encourage airline and 

associate members to bring any questions, ideas or comments to our attention. 

As the regional airlines’ legacy partners struggle to restructure their costs, the resulting 

downward pressure on the regional carriers impacts everyone in the industry. The interdependent 

relationship between the regional airlines and the associate members is 

crucial to the success of our industry. The AMC is committed to working with both the 

regional airlines and the associate members to find ways so that both parties continue to 

gain from this mutually beneficial relationship. 

Sincerely,

A company of the Safran Group, Snecma 

is one of the world’s leading aerospace 

propulsion companies. Snecma designs 

and produces commercial engines that are 

leaders in their thrust class, such as the 

CFM56, the world’s best selling and most 

reliable commercial aircraft engine 

produced through CFM International, an 

equal partnership of Snecma and General 

Electric. Snecma is also a partner to GE on 

various large turbofan engines: the CF6, 

the GE90 and the GP7200. 

Snecma is active in all three segments 

of the military aircraft market: combat 

(M88-2 and M53-P2 engines), training 

(Larzac®) and transport (TP400-D6). The 

company is also the propulsion prime 

contractor on Europe’s Ariane space 

launchers. It develops and produces a 

wide range of propulsion systems and 

equipment for launchers, space vehicles 

and satellites. 

Snecma is now making inroads in the 

regional aircraft market with the SaM146 

engine, purpose designed for regional 

aircraft and other small jets. Drawing on 

its long experience with international partnerships, 

Snecma is building this engine in 

partnership with Russian engine manufacturer 

NPO Saturn through PowerJet, a 

50/50 joint venture in charge of SaM146 

program management. 

The SaM146 engine is the only integrated 

propulsion system (comprising 

engine, equipment and nacelle) specifically 

designed for the new generation of small 

jets. Developing 14,000 to 17,500 pounds 

of thrust, it covers thrust requirements for 

aircraft carrying up to 100 passengers. It 

benefits from advanced technologies 

developed by Snecma, over 30 years of 

operating experience with the best-selling 

CFM56 turbofan engine. In April 2003, 

the SaM146 was selected by Russian 

aircraft manufacturer Sukhoi Civil Aircraft

Regional Airline Services in North America 1995 – 2005 

The regional airline industry continued to provide safe, dependable 

service to communities across the country at a time when 

many mainline carriers were forced to reduce their schedules due 

to weak demand and high costs. Air service supports economic 

growth and without regional aircraft, the economies of many 

cities would have suffered. 

In 2005, the industry transported nearly 151 million passengers, 

translating to 1 of every 5 domestic passengers. There were 750 

communities in North America that received service from regional 

airlines in January 2006, a 2 percent increase from the previous 

year. These operations constitute an increasingly important 

proportion of the US national airspace system, with more than 40 

percent of total operations being provided by regional carriers. 

The industry served 664 of the 674 US commercial airports, 

providing exclusive service to 492, or 73 percent.

Regional airlines, while known for providing links from smaller 

cities, account for an increasing percentage of operations at 

many large airports. In early 2006, 51.3 percent of the total daily 

nonstop departures at Chicago O’Hare — the nation’s busiest 

airport — were conducted by regional airlines. The top five 

airports receiving regional carrier service in January 2006, as 

ranked by nonstop departures, were Chicago O’Hare, Atlanta, 

Houston Intercontinental, Cincinnati and Charlotte, NC.

ESSENTIAL AIR SERVICE 

120 

Essential Air Service 

By Faye Malarkey, RAA Vice President–Legislative Affairs 

A key component of the Airline Deregulation 

Act of 1978 was the guarantee of 

essential air service (EAS) to small and 

medium size communities. The original 

essential air service program provided for a 

continuation of air transportation for 10 years 

to all cities certificated on the date of the 

Act's enactment into law, October 24, 1978. 

The Essential Air Service program was 

modified and extended by the Airport and 

Airway Safety and Capacity Expansion Act 

of 1987 and enacted into law December 

30, 1987. The modified EAS program, 

effective October 1, 1988 through 

September 30, 1998, permitted new or 

enhanced service for many cities but 

required communities to be located 45 

miles or more from the nearest hub airport 

in order to receive service. Airline service 

would have to be provided two times per 

day and six days per week, with aircraft 

with an effective capacity of 15 passengers 

or more except in cases where passenger 

traffic has continually been less than 11 

persons per flight or in cases where the 

community agrees to the use of smaller 

aircraft. All aircraft must be twin engine, 

two-pilot equipment, and must be pressurized 

if the flight regularly exceeds 8,000 

feet. Additionally, compensation rules for 

carriers providing subsidized essential air 

service were modified. 

On June 30, 1989, Public Law 101-45, 

the Dire Emergency Supplemental Appropriations 

Act of 1989, was enacted. This 

statute provided that, after September 30, 

1989, no subsidy paid for any service to or 

from any EAS air service point in the 

contiguous United States could exceed 

$300 per passenger. 

On December 19, 1989, the Department 

of Transportation further modified 

the EAS program, establishing more strin- 


gent eligibility criteria effective January 1, 

1990, which prohibited qualified communities 

from requiring a per-passenger subsidy 

exceeding $200. The statute further 

changed eligibility criteria for communities, 

requiring EAS points to be located 70 

highway miles or more from the nearest 

medium or large hub airport, 55 highway 

miles or more from the nearest small hub 

airport, or 45 highway miles or more from 

the nearest non-hub airport with 100 or 

more passenger enplanements per day. The 

statute made exceptions for certain state 

capitals as well as EAS points in Alaska, 

Hawaii and the Pacific. 

The Airport Safety and Capacity 

Expansion Act of 1990, enacted on 

November 5, 1990, contained several 

provisions related to the Essential Air 

Service program. The statute authorized 

the Department of Transportation to fund 

subsidized EAS service at $38.6 million for 

each fiscal year from 1992-1998, with 

funding authorized from the Airport and 

Airway Trust Fund. The statute additionally 

prohibited the Department of Transportation 

from declaring any existing EAS point 

ineligible for federal subsidy based on perpassenger 

subsidy amounts. 

The Department of Transportation 

Appropriations Act for fiscal year 1992 

(Public Law 102-143, enacted on October 

28, 1992) modified the Essential Air Service 

Program further, providing that payments 

to air carriers be funded from the Airport 

and Airway Trust Fund. This law also 

prohibited the Department of Transportation 

from authorizing EAS payments for 

service to communities that had not 

received service during fiscal year 1991 in 

cases where the community is located no 

more than 200 miles from a hub airport, 

unless the community provides the 

required matching funds. The statute also 

prohibited DOT from increasing service 

levels to existing EAS points unless the 

Secretary certifies in writing that the 

increased service level will result in selfsufficiency 

within three years of initiation 

of the increased level of service. 

Additional changes have been recently 

proposed for the EAS program. In 1994, 

Vice President Gore's National Performance 

Review recommended reduced EAS 

funding and more stringent criteria for 

service. In response to this report, the FY 

1995 Department of Transportation 

budget, submitted to Congress, included a 

proposed reduction in EAS funding of $7.8 

million. Additionally, a provision was 

proposed to prohibit communities located 

more than 70 miles from a small hub 

airport from receiving EAS funding. 

Congress did not, however, enact the 

proposed changes to the EAS program at 

that time. 

The DOT Fiscal Year 1997 Appropriations 

Act, signed into law by President 

Clinton on September 30, 1996, included 

language expressing Congress’ desire that 

the Department enable increased access to 

Chicago O’Hare Airport for small and 

medium-sized communities. The conference 

report directed DOT to “make the 

fullest possible use of existing exemption 

powers, for example by combining essential 

air service slots with the pool of slots at 

O’Hare Airport for military operations in a 

way that would increase the Department’s 

flexibility with regard to the time of day 

assigned to Essential Air Service slots. The

act also directed DOT to use its exemption 

authority to improve service to non-hub 

airports where significant improvements 

could be achieved. This directive was 

limited to O’Hare International Airport and 

aircraft carrying less than 60 passengers.” 

The FAA Reauthorization Act of 1996, 

signed into law by President Clinton on 

October 9, 1996, significantly changed 

funding for the EAS program. This law 

contained a provision, entitled the Rural 

Survival Act of 1996, which removed the 

September 30, 1997 sunset of the Essential 

Air Service Program and set no new date 

for the program to end. Further, the Act 

codified a permanent funding stream for 

the program, mandating that a standing 

annual Appropriations of $50 million for 

the EAS program. The source of this 

funding was to be obtained from certain 

fees, established by Federal Aviation 

Administration in May 1997 for a variety of 

aviation services provided to foreign 

governments, as well as fees paid by 

foreign airlines for overflights of the United 

States. After a successful court challenge, 

however, FAA was forced to amend its fee 

structure, resulting in a significant reduction 

in revenue, which in turn necessitated 

FAA to provide the remaining funding. 

Faced with funding shortfalls, DOT has 

issued several service termination notices, 

triggering broad opposition from communities 

and air carriers. Congress subsequently 

moved to increase funding for the 

program, raising EAS funding to $113 

million in Fiscal Year 2003. This funding 

increase resulted largely from concerns that 

the post-September 11 and Iraq war reductions 

in traffic would force carriers 

discontinue service to small communities, 

thus triggering new EAS subsidies. In 

certain cities, where the community was 

guaranteed air service under the Deregulation 

Act and the air carrier was providing 

the only scheduled air service, DOT could 

force the airline to continue to serve the 

market, paying “hold in monies” for that 

service. 

In recent years, communities, carriers 

and Congress have pointed to the 

program's failure to keep pace with 

changes in the airline industry and other 

modes of transportation that impact 

passenger traffic at EAS points. New highways 

and increased speed limits, for 

instance, have resulted in greater numbers 

of passengers driving to nearby airports in 

search of lower fares. The increased operational 

costs of 19 seat turboprop aircraft, 

coupled with passenger migration to 

nearby hubs, have caused Program costs 

associated with EAS to climb steadily since 

its inception. 

On December 13, 2003, the President 

signed into law HR 2115, the Century of 

Aviation Reauthorization Act (Vision 100). 

This law included several provisions 

impacting the EAS program. One such 

provision, requiring DOT to select ten EAS 

cities to pay up to ten percent of their EAS 

subsidy cost, was prohibited for one year 

by a law passed in early 2004, the FY2004 

Omnibus Appropriations Act. The status of 

this provision now depends upon further 

action by appropriators to prohibit implementation 

of the measure in future fiscal 

years. Should appropriators fail to include 

such a prohibition in FY05 spending measures, 

the provision will be implemented. If 

implemented, and in such cases where EAS 

subsidies are lost due to a community’s 

inability to contribute its designated local 

share, carriers will be exempted from 30day 

service continuation requirements. 

Other provisions of the 2003 FAA Reauthorization 

law also stand to impact the EAS 

Program. The law enacted many RAAnegotiated 

provisions seeking to alleviate 

some of the difficulties faced by EAS 

carriers. One such provision exempts 

carriers from EAS hold-in requirements in 

cases where a carrier elects to provide new 

air service to a currently unserved market 

(thereby freeing carriers from hold-in 

concerns if the market fails to develop). 

Another provision provides DOT with a tool 

to gauge carrier cost increases and adjust 

EAS compensation rates accordingly 

without requiring carriers to file termination 

notices in order to renegotiate 

contracts. Unfortunately DOT has yet to 

implement the cost-adjustment mechanism, 

citing a lack of resources and the 

need for a specific appropriation. 

The 2003 Reauthorization mandated 

other changes to the EAS Program, such as 

a code-sharing pilot program where DOT 

may direct major air carriers to enter into 

code-sharing agreements with EAS carriers 

and a provision requiring EAS carriers to 

file semi-annual on-time reports to DOT. 

The law also directed DOT to establish an 

alternative essential air service pilot 

program in which compensation for the 

service is paid directly to the local government 

of the community instead of to the 

air carrier and established a code-sharing 

pilot program where DOT may direct major 

air carriers to enter into code-sharing 

agreements with EAS carriers. 

Another change, among those mandated 

by the 2003 FAA Reauthorization, directs 

DOT, when determining program eligibility 

to consider the most "commonly used 

route" in determining EAS eligibility status 

for communities located more than 70 

miles from the nearest hub airport. 

In current and recent Budget Requests, 

the current administration has continually 

sought even greater changes to the 

program and, each year, proposes to strip 

the EAS Program of its entitlement status, 

cutting program funding in half, and 

enacting further-reaching community 

match programs, with respect to funding, 

that would reduce air service to all but the 

most remote communities. 

RAA continues to lobby Congress on 

the importance of full EAS funding and, in 

recent years, has been successful in 

obtaining appropriate funding levels to 

carry out the program. RAA has further 

lobbied Congress on a codification of the 

cost-adjustment mechanism afforded to 

DOT in the 2003 Reauthorization Act and 

expects to examine per-passenger subsidy 

caps and further issues related to “EAS 

reform” in the FAA Reauthorization bill 

expected next year. In the meantime, RAA 

projects that Program funding levels to 

remain adequate through FY07, despite 

continued political pressure to reduce 

funding.

Success flies 

on the CRJ 

Just ask 

Jerry Atkin 

“We continue to buy the CRJ 

because it has great performance, 

great reliability and the economics 

are the best in the industry. It’s no 

surprise that we’ll fly 26 million 

passengers on CRJs this year.” 

Jerry Atkin, Chairman and CEO, SkyWest, Inc. 

Lowest operating costs. Excellent 

performance and comfort. That’s how 

the Bombardier CRJ Series is helping 

Jerry Atkin achieve his goal of making 

SkyWest the lowest cost, highest quality 

operator anywhere. Jerry did the math 

– and it added up to success.
