Republic Airways
Republic Airways, the regional airline that’s headquartered in Indiana, operates a fleet of over 200 jets on behalf of American Airlines, United Airlines, but also Delta Air Lines. Republic asked the Federal Aviation Administration to cut the required training hours for pilots, to address all the industry-related labor shortages.
Envoy Air
This Texas-based airline is one of the subsidiaries of American Airlines, which operates mainly from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, alongside its parent company. Envoy has had fewer jets last year because there weren’t enough pilots to fly them.
When American Airlines grounded the flights because of operational issues, it also tends to ground jets under its regional carriers, such as Envoy and Piedmont Airlines.
Hawaiian Airlines
Hawaiian Airlines is the biggest operator of flights to and from the Hawaiian islands. The airline sought to hire 600 employees in all departments of the company because labor shortages threaten to mess with their business.
Unfortunately, the company still registers revenues below its pre-pandemic levels, and it was forced to take a $120 million loss in the first three months of last year, as its most recent filing has shown.
