REGIONAL LINES

Flown like railroad lines.

Four named lines on the ATR 42-600. Each strings a run of short hops out from St. Louis through small regional towns, ends at a real airline hub, then makes one express run home.

THE IDEA

Slow line out, express back.

It's how the regionals — and the railroads before them — moved people across the middle of the country. Forty-eight seats, props turning, the towns the jets skip. Each line is built as an opt-in Tour layered on the scheduled network: fly the legs in order, end to end, and earn the line.

Airports network-wide

The lines add 10 regional airports on top of our 27 scheduled destinations — a named feature flown as Tours, not new scheduled service. See them geographically on the system route map.

Origin / hub terminus Regional stop Express leg home
River Lineto Kansas City

The line links the two great cities the Missouri River built — St. Louis at one end, Kansas City at the other. Between them: Columbia, the capital at Jefferson City, and a swing south to Springfield. Four short hops out, one express run home.

Illinois Lineto Chicago

The most rail-like of the four. Quincy sits on the Mississippi; from there the line runs inland through central-Illinois rail country — past the capital at Springfield, then Decatur, Bloomington-Normal, and Champaign — climbing town by town to O'Hare, the biggest hub in the Midwest. Five towns and the big hub. One express leg home.

Southern Lineto Indianapolis

South toward the confluence, then east to Indiana. The line drops through Farmington to Cape Girardeau and Paducah, near where the Ohio River meets the Mississippi, picks up Evansville on the Ohio, and runs up to Indianapolis. Five hops out, express home.

Ozark Lineto Little Rock

This one follows a railroad. The old St. Louis–San Francisco line — the Frisco — ran from St. Louis through Springfield to Joplin; the Ozark Line traces that corridor and carries on into the Ozarks to Little Rock. Fort Leonard Wood, Springfield, Joplin, then the long express leg back. The heritage line.
