ExpressJet launches aha!

ExpressJet has announced its return to the skies, which it will do with a new leisure brand: aha! The name is short for air, hotel and adventure and the airline is set to launch on 24 October 2021 from its Reno-Tahoe (CA) base. Initially, the airline will fly to Bakersfield (CA), Eugene-Springfield (OR), Eureka-Arkata (CA), Fresno-Yosemite (CA), Medford-Ashland (OR), Ontario (CA), Pascoe-Tri Cities (WA) and Redmond-Bend (OR). We already reported on a possible restart of the airline in January.

The airline's fleet currently consists of a single ERJ145, N844HK (14500838), which has been previously used by the airline to operate for United Express and has been at Macon (GA) for maintenance since 1 July 2021.
