Pinnacle Airlines9E

Endeavor Air is a regional airline and wholly-owned subsidiary of Delta Air Lines, headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The airline traces its origins back to 1985 when it was founded as Express Airlines I in Atlanta, Georgia. Over the years, the carrier went through several name changes and ownership transitions—becoming Pinnacle Airlines in 2002—before being rebranded as Endeavor Air in 2013 following Delta's acquisition.

Important: Endeavor Air does not sell tickets directly to passengers. The airline operates flights exclusively as Delta Connection for Delta Air Lines. When you book a flight operated by Endeavor Air, you purchase your ticket through Delta Air Lines. The flight will appear as a Delta flight number, even though the aircraft and crew belong to Endeavor Air.

As a wholly-owned Delta subsidiary, Endeavor Air is fully integrated into Delta's operations, with aircraft painted in Delta Connection livery and crew members trained to Delta's service standards. The airline operates approximately 700 daily flights to over 140 destinations across the United States, Canada, the Caribbean, and Central America, making it one of the largest regional carriers in North America.

Endeavor Air serves as a critical component of Delta's hub strategy, providing regional feed to Delta's Minneapolis-St. Paul (MSP), Detroit (DTW), and New York JFK (JFK) hubs. The wholly-owned subsidiary model ensures operational consistency and seamless integration with Delta's mainline network.
