Air Wisconsin pioneered code sharing with United Express , operated its fleet of regional jets under the United Express name, and became the largest regional airline in the 1980s. They flew as a feeder for AirTran under the name AirTran JetConnect , this cooperation was discontinued in July 2004, as was the cooperation with United Airlines in April 2006.
Air Wisconsin flies only regional and feeder flights for US Airways under the umbrella brand US Airways Express after Air Wisconsin invested 175 million US dollars in US Airways. She has stations in Philadelphia , Washington National and Norfolk / Virginia.
