OK, a couple of cities here and there in canada, mexico, understood....
But a regional airline operating the most int'l flights - even if it is mexico - than any other US operator? I mean, are you talking major cities like MEX, ACA, PVR or little podunk towns?
Please forgive my ignorance if it is that obvious, but I was always under the impression that international flying was always done by the major airline. Have regionals been flying international for some time now?
I ask because when I was at ACA in the late 90s, we maybe had ONE flight to canada out of IAD and that was it. And that wasn't until ACA got its first CRJ in 1997. Before that, with the props, fuhgedaboudit. Has it changed that much?
