GoJet Airlines LLC is a company headquartered in Bridgeton, Missouri, United States. Wholly owned by Trans States Holdings, it has 1,670 employees.[2][3] It operates commuter feeder services under the United Express and Delta Connection names. GoJet Airlines has crew bases at St. Louis Lambert International Airport, O'Hare International Airport, Denver International Airport, Detroit Metropolitan Airport and Raleigh-Durham International Airport. Flights are currently operated out of United's hubs at O'Hare International Airport and Denver International Airport. GoJet's Delta Connection flights currently operate out of Detroit Metropolitan Airport, Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport and Raleigh-Durham International Airport.[2] Its call sign "Lindbergh" is named after aviation pioneer Charles Lindbergh, who flew the Spirit of St. Louis solo across the Atlantic Ocean in 1927, the first person to do so.
History
The airline was established in late 2004 by Trans States Holdings. GoJet took delivery of their first Bombardier CRJ-700 in June 2005.
The airline received its initial Air Carrier Operating Certificate in September 2005 and began scheduled passenger services on October 4, 2005 with a United Express flight from Cincinnati, Ohio to Chicago, Illinois. By the end of 2009, GoJet took delivery of their 25th CRJ-700 aircraft.[4]
In October 2011, Delta Air Lines announced it was planning a January 2012 launch of new GoJet CRJ700 service as a Delta Connection regional carrier. Delta would initially transfer 15 of the CRJ700 aircraft previously assigned to its Comair division to GoJet as well as 12 owned or leased CRJ700s contracted to SkyWest Airlines to begin the service.[5] On January 22, 2012, GoJet began service as a Delta Connection carrier with its inaugural flight from St. Louis, Missouri to Detroit, Michigan.[6]
In August 2019, Delta announced that it would be terminating operating agreements with two DCX carriers, GoJet Airlines and Compass Airlines. The aircraft will be transferred to Endeavor Air and all GJS-operated flights would be phased out by mid-2020.[7]
Crew Bases
Pilots and Flight Attendants are based at the following locations:
- Chicago, Illinois (O'Hare International Airport)
- Denver, Colorado (Denver International Airport)
- Detroit, Michigan (Detroit Metropolitan Airport)
- Raleigh, North Carolina (Raleigh-Durham International Airport)
- St. Louis, Missouri (St. Louis Lambert International Airport)
Destinations
GoJet flies to over 80 destinations within the U.S. and Canada, operating both for United Express and Delta Connection. Below are the destinations for its United Express flights, per a 2017 route map.
