Core Airlines was a regional air carrier concept proposed by Core Aviation Group, a company based in Denver, Colorado. The concept aimed to address gaps in regional connectivity in the western United States, focusing on providing efficient and reliable air travel between smaller cities and larger hubs.
Background
[edit]Core Airlines emerged as a concept from Core Aviation Group LLC a company specializing in many aviation services and solutions. While Core Aviation Group remains active and headquartered in Denver, the Core Airlines proposal explored the potential of operating a regional airline to serve underserved markets in Northern California, the Pacific Northwest, and neighboring states. The airline's concept was informed by market analyses identifying regional connectivity as a critical need for economic growth in smaller communities.
Fleet Considerations
[edit]During its planning phase, Core Airlines evaluated several aircraft models suitable for regional operations. These included:
Proposed Destinations

- Oakland (Oakland International Airport)
- Arcata/Eureka (Arcata–Eureka Airport)

[edit]Operations Model

Challenges and Outcome
