History

Originally established in 1989 under the name Atlantic Coast Airlines Holdings, Inc., the company provided regional flight services through partnerships as United Express and Delta Connection. Following the termination of these codeshare arrangements, it adopted the name FLYi, Inc. in 2004 to introduce Independence Air.

On November 7, 2005, FLYi along with its subsidiaries initiated Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings in Delaware, aiming to attract new capital within a sixty-day timeframe. After failing to obtain necessary funding, FLYi discontinued operations on January 5, 2006. Northwest Airlines acquired its operating certificate and utilized it to establish Compass Airlines. Prior to being delisted, FLYi was publicly traded on the Pink Sheets under the ticker symbol FLYIQ.
