Envoy Air is a regional airline headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, and operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of American Airlines, serving as a key component of American's regional network. Founded in 1988 as Republic Airlines before becoming Envoy Air in 2013, the carrier operates scheduled passenger service on behalf of American Airlines under a capacity purchase agreement, flying routes primarily in the United States with focus on connecting smaller markets to American's major hubs. Envoy Air passengers have access to American Airlines' AAdvantage frequent flyer program and benefit from connectivity to American's domestic and international network, though Envoy operates under its own brand for crew and operations. As a regional feeder airline, Envoy provides essential connectivity for American Airlines' hub-and-spoke system while maintaining the operational and staffing standards required by its parent carrier. The airline operates a modern regional fleet and is classified as one of the largest regional carriers in North America by capacity.
