Atlantic Southeast AirlinesCAA

Atlantic Southeast Airlines (ASA) was a major regional carrier headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, that operated from its founding in 1979 until its merger with ExpressJet Airlines in 2010. The airline primarily operated as a regional feeder for Delta Air Lines, carrying passengers on short- and medium-haul routes throughout the southeastern United States and connecting hubs like Atlanta and other Delta destinations. ASA offered single-class economy seating on its regional fleet and participated in Delta's SkyMiles frequent flyer program, though it maintained its own brand identity and livery. As one of the largest independent regional carriers in North America during its operational period, Atlantic Southeast Airlines was known for its reliability and strong presence in the Southeast market before consolidating with ExpressJet to form a larger regional operation.
