Empire Airlines (1976-1985)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Empire Airlines was a regional airline serving the Northeastern United States beginning in 1976. In 1985, the airline was purchased by Piedmont Airlines, which itself was later purchased by USAir and whose name now lives on in the US Airways Express network.
Initially, Empire Airlines began with its hub at the Oneida County Airport serving Utica and Rome, New York. Near the end of the airline's existence, service was greatly reduced in Utica and most service was through Syracuse Hancock International Airport.
