Sunset touchdown at DFW by a Delta Connection CRJ900 operated by Endeavor Air…. Endeavor Air began in 1985 as Express Airlines I at Minneapolis-St Paul with its first codeshare in May of that year with Republic Airlines as Republic Express. Within the first year, Express I was flying 20 Jetstream 31s and 7 Saab 340s to 32 destinations out of MSP. When Northwest acquired Republic in October 1986, Express I flew under the Northwest Airlink banner. In 1997, Northwest acquired Express and consolidated its operations at Memphis as the Northwest launch operator of the CRJ100. In 2002, Express I changed its name to Pinnacle Airlines which in turn acquired two other regionals, Colgan Air and Mesaba Airlines. In 2007, despite being owned by Northwest, Pinnacle secured agreements to fly for Delta as Delta Connection with the delivery of the CRJ900s to the airline. In 2012, Pinnacle filed for bankruptcy and reorganized under Chapter 11, emerging as Endeavor Air and a subsidiary of Delta Airlines. #Avgeek #aviation #aircraft #planeporn #KDFW #DFW #airport #igTexas #planespotting #airlines #Bombardier #CRJ900 #N294PQ #EndeavorAir #Delta #DeltaConnection #DFWavgeek #instagramaviation #splendid_transport #instaaviation #aviationlovers #aviationphotography #flight #AvgeekSchoolofKnowledge #AvGeeksAero #AvGeekNation (at Dallas/Fort Worth Intl Airport (DFW)) https://www.instagram.com/sentinelchicken/p/Bw3Cferluqz/?igshid=ihg52i2af7u7
