United Airlines arguably has the best route network in the United States with more than 210 destinations in the US and 120 international cities.

All of these flights will be operated by Skywest (operating as United Express) on Embraer E175 aircraft with 12 First Class, 16 Economy Plus®, and 48 Economy Class seats.

United giveth and it taketh away. With these four routes resuming out of Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD), the following will be cut after June 26th from Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR):
- Harrisburg International Airport (MDT)
- Philadelphia International Airport (PHL)
- State College Regional Airport (SCE)
- Wilkes-Barre Scranton International Airport (AVP)
Anthony’s Take: These short, regional flights fill in some gaps and shift service to a more reasonable distance.

Traverse City airport code is TVC, not TGV. do we have France on our mind?
Good catch. LOL
Following the comment above, I believe “Travis City Cherry Capital Airport (TCV)” should be “Traverse” and “TVC” :).
The Commute Air flying has to be on the 145, not the 135 right? They no longer fly any of their 135s as far as I know.
You’re correct. Updated. Thanks!
