Are there any airlines in the USA which still operate 19-seaters such as the Dornier 228, Fairchild Metro II/III/23, Jetstream 31/32 or Beech 1900C/D? Thanks for any help.

I was flying to visit my brother over thanksgiving. I was on Minnesota and was flying to Albany, NY. On the stretch I was on continental express/comutair (I think). I was the only passenger on a Beech 1900D.

There is no 'Lake Havasu Airlines' at the moment. In the three years I've live here, there has been all sorts of talk of starting a commuter carrier here...but it been just that...all talk. The last HII-based airline folded over ten years ago. Even then I'm not sure they flew the Do228. Regards.

Really? Safety cards for Lake Havasu Airlines Do228s??? Wow! I just learned something new about this bit of history. This requires some research on my part. Thanks, Daniel, for this info. Regards.

Continental Connection operated by Gulfstream International Airlines flies throughout Florida and the Bahamas with B1900s. I think they also have service out of San Juan as well.

Vision Air has several Do 228s at North Las Vegas Airport. There are also several Scenic Airlines Twin Otters there. Though these carriers are both mostly tour operators.

I know Big Sky Operates Metros out of DFW, Dl airlines handle them near their Cargo sorting building.

The two that come to mind for me in the Upper Midwest are:
--Great Lakes Aviation (for United Express) operates B1900s around the midwest.
--Skyway Airlines (for Midwest Express) operates B1900s as well.

-Don't forget CC Air (USAirways Express...owned by Mesa)) operating J32's out of CLT.
-Peninsula Airways (Penair) in Alaska operates Metro III's.
-Also in Alaska you have Frontier Flying Services and Alaska Central flying B1900's. As well as ERA flying DHC6-300's.

From what I've been told the Jetstreams at CCAir have all been removed and they only have Dash 8s now.

United Express (Atlantic Coast) flies Jetstream32.
I flew these airplanes a couple of times and except for legroom which is terrible for a 6'3" guy like me, it's great.
That's what's flying is all about.
When you have seat 1B on the Jetstream32, you have a full view at the cockpit.
