Connect Airlines
About
Connect Airlines is a US carrier dedicated to reliable regional air service, with a mission of connecting communities through convenient travel options. The airline built its public-charter operation around ATR 72-600 turboprops on cross-border regional routes.
Connect Airlines is evolving to meet market demand: it is launching service from the Region of Waterloo International Airport (YKF) in partnership with the Waterloo-based carrier Connect Canada Airlines GN, in which Connect Airlines holds a 24.9% shareholding. YKF flights are operated by a Transport Canada certified CAR 705 carrier doing business as Connect Canada Airlines GN.
The planned route network is designed around the Waterloo Region innovation corridor — essential connections to major North American business centres alongside popular leisure destinations — with specific routes and schedules to be announced as launch plans are finalized.
