Cimber Air Maintenance Center acquired a hangar at Billund Airport in Denmark from Sterling Airlines. CAMC plans to use the facility to expand its Bombardier CRJ200 support activity and eventually offer MRO services to third-party customers. It already provides line maintenance for sister company Cimber Air, which operates a fleet of nine CRJ200s. This fall, CAMC will undertake four-year checks on two Cimber CRJs. Sep 22, 2006

Frontier to end codeshare relationship with Horizon. Denver-based Frontier Airlines, which earlier this month announced orders for 10 Bombardier DHC-8-Q400s as part of a plan to launch its own Regional airline subsidiary, is ending its codeshare agreement with Horizon Air, an Alaska Air Group subsidiary. Horizon has been operating nine Bomardier CRJ700s as Frontier Jet Express since January 2004. Officials from both carriers are continuing negotiations on a timeline for winding down the partnership.

Horizon said it will reintegrate the nine aircraft into its fleet to support its current network and expand service. Concurrent with its order for Bombardier DHC-8-Q400s, Frontier said it wanted to operate up to 20 RJs, but Horizon said at the time that it did not want to invest the capital needed to fund the additional aircraft for the partnership.
