The weekend brought the final flight for Comair, a subsidiary of Atlanta-based Delta that flew under the Delta Connection brand.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Comair's last flight also marked the end for an industry pioneer that helped spearhead the introduction of the 50-seat regional jets that replaced most turboprops in the 1990s.
Delta says it expects no service disruptions, because other Delta Connection regional carriers are taking over flights.
Erlanger, Ky.-based Comair's 1,700 employees will be laid off, including about 30 Georgia-based pilots and flight attendants.
