Are regional airlines with propellers safe and modern?

YES. Turbo propeller aircraft are state of the art and are an average seven years younger than the jet aircraft of major airlines. Jet engines power all regional aircraft, whether a turboprop with propellers on the outside, or a turbofan with a fan inside the engine casing. Turbo props are the most economically efficient aircraft for flying shorter distances.

The U.S. commercial aviation system, regional airlines included, is the safest mode of transportation in the world. Moreover, the safety record of regional airlines equals that of major airlines with pilot training, crew rest requirements, safety equipment, and dispatching procedures mandated by the Federal Aviation Administration for the industry as a whole.

YES. Regional/commuter aircraft are equipped with the same type of sophisticated safety equipment as major/national airlines, including: Weather Radar, De-icing, Traffic Alert, Collision Avoidance Systems, and Ground Proximity Warning Systems.

Are regional airline pilots experienced?

YES. All commercial pilots meet the same FAA requirements. Our pilots complete extensive initial training, recurrent training, and are tested by FAA examiners every six months. With a median age of 35 years and an average of 6,000 hours in the cockpit - they are among the most experienced ever employed by the industry.
