commuter airlines
Short-haul flight companies
Commuter airlines are small regional carriers that operate short-haul flights, typically connecting smaller cities to major airport hubs.
They use smaller aircraft—often turboprops—and run frequent schedules for business travelers making daily or weekly trips: She took a commuter airline from Providence to LaGuardia.
Many operate under contract with larger carriers.
