The US airline ExpressJet is resuming flight operations and at the same time is launching a new leisure brand with “Aha!”. For now, you want to fly to / from Reno-Tahoe International Airport.

The concept of the Regio-Carrier is that flights and hotel stays are sold as a package. The aim is to initially focus on cities on the US west coast that are currently undersupplied. One wants to stand out clearly from major airlines and ultra-low costers.

Embraer 145 regional jets are used as the machine type. These have 50 seats. In the next few months, they want to expand further under the new aha brand. The first destinations from Reno are as follows:

• Ontario / Los Angeles, CA
• Bakersfield CA
• Medford / Ashland, OR
• Eugene / Springfield, CA
• Pasco / Tri-Cities, WA
• Redmond / Bend, OR
• Eureka / Arcata, CA
• Fresno, CA
