Historia
Compass Airlines was a US airline that operated regional flights on behalf of other US airlines. In its time, the airline operated flights on behalf of Northwest Airlink, Delta Connection and — most recently — American Eagle. The airline mainly flew state-wide within the US but also flew to other parts of North and Central America. It usually had around 50 destinations within its route network at one time. The airline had different bases throughout its time. It's most recent base was at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), which it used when it operated for American Eagle. Before that, it was based at Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport (MSP).
Compass Airlines only ever flew on behalf of other airlines. This means that it did not use its own branding on any of its flights and instead used the branding of the carrier that it was flying for.
The airline was created in 2006 and flew its first flight the following year when it flew from Minneapolis-St.Paul to Washington D.C on behalf of Northwest Airlink. Initially, the airline was a full-subsidiary of Northwest Airlink and then of Delta Connection when it was sold to Delta Air Lines. In 2010, the airline was bought by Trans State Holdings, who contracted the airline out to American Eagle up until it ceased operations in 2020.
The airline officially stopped flying on abril 5 2020 and was one of the many airlines that ceased operations due to the coronavirus pandemic.
