CommutAir is a regional airline based in the United States that operated as a United Express carrier under a code-share agreement with United Airlines. The airline provided feeder service connecting smaller markets to United's major hub airports, primarily Newark Liberty International Airport. Founded in 1989, CommutAir operated a fleet of Embraer ERJ-145 regional jets and served numerous destinations throughout the eastern United States and beyond. The airline functioned as a capacity purchase agreement partner, meaning United Airlines bore much of the commercial risk while CommutAir handled operations. CommutAir announced the cessation of flight operations in early 2023, ceasing scheduled passenger service as regional aviation faced ongoing challenges including pilot shortages and economic pressures following the COVID-19 pandemic.
