regional airline
Short-haul flyer
A regional airline operates short-haul flights, typically connecting smaller cities to major hubs where passengers transfer to larger carriers.
Regional airlines often fly smaller aircraft and may operate under the brand of a major airline through code-sharing agreements: The flight to Chicago was on a regional airline but showed up as a United flight.
Also called a commuter airline.
