regional airlines
Short-haul flight companies
Regional airlines are smaller carriers that operate short-haul flights, typically connecting smaller cities to major hub airports.
They often fly under contract with larger airlines, using the major carrier's branding and booking systems: The flight was operated by a regional airline on behalf of United.
Regional aircraft are usually smaller—turboprops or regional jets seating fewer than 100 passengers.
