Bring a distinctive chapter of airline history to your everyday routine with an ATA Connection laptop sleeve. ATA Connection branded Chicago Express commuter flights serving smaller Midwestern cities, while the operator retained its own certificate and C8 ticketing identity. The service moved from Jetstream 31 turboprops to Saab 340s, then faded as Chicago Express assets were divested in early 2006. For aviation-history collectors, this design recalls how a regional feeder operation could carry a better-known carrier’s name without sharing its operating identity.
ATA Connection was the branded commuter service of ATA Airlines, operated by Chicago Express Airlines and serving smaller Midwestern cities. Chicago Express flew the British Aerospace Jetstream 31 turboprop before replacing it with the Saab 340. Travel agencies used the airline code C8 to ticket Chicago Express routes and arrange travel between airlines without an ATA ownership or affiliation. The ATA Connection name and branding therefore identified a regional feeder operation, while the company operated under Chicago Express’s airline certificate. The brand’s use ended as the operation wound down: its fleet was withdrawn, owned aircraft were parked, and leased aircraft were returned to their owners. Early in 2006, Chicago Express’s remaining assets were divested from the successor to AMTRAN, INC. When the company’s remnants were liquidated, it was sold as Chicago Express, the name on its original operating certificate. ATA Connection’s imagery and logos did not continue after the brand ended. ATA Airlines, a separate certificated carrier with the code TZ, ceased operations in April 2008. The article describes ATA Connection, its C8 identity, and the related certificated airline as defunct.
