• ExpressJet Airlines restarts commercial flying exactly one year after its last revenue flight. ExpressJet Airlines began its first commercial flying mission on Sept. 30, 2021 – exactly one year to the day since its last flight as a United Express carrier for United Airlines. The successful mission was a sports team charter between Tallahassee, Fla. and Anderson S.C. ExpressJet anticipates serving a variety of charter customers with its popular ERJ145 jets and continuing its legacy as the pre-eminent regional-jet charter provider in America. ExpressJet’s charter mission came one day after the company announced the launch of aha!, its “air-hotel-adventure” leisure brand. Combining value-priced fares and nonstop flights, aha! will begin flying from its home base at Reno-Tahoe International Airport on October 24, 2021 to eight cities across the western United States.
• ExpressJet has announced its resumption of service with the launch of its aha! leisure brand – offering “air●hotel●adventure” to travelers to/from Reno-Tahoe International Airport and several under-served cities on the U.S. West Coast. aha! will combine value-priced fares, non-stop flights and hotel partnerships to offer customers quick and easy travel and vacation opportunities. www.flyaha.com ExpressJet’s aha! brand is in keeping with its strategy of providing high-quality, reliable, efficient point-to-point flying service in small and abandoned markets with unmet customer needs - avoiding needless overlap with the major airlines and “ultra-low-cost carriers.” Watch for ExpressJet’s expansion plans – as aha! and otherwise – in the coming months!
