NOTICE OF REGISTRATION OF TRADE NAME

On April 5, 2013, Republic Airline Inc. d/b/a Republic Airlines (“Republic”), a U.S. certificated 

air carrier,

1 requested that the Department register the trade name “American Eagle” for use in 

certain of its air transportation operations. 

The applicant states that it recently entered into a Capacity Purchase Agreement with American 

Airlines, Inc. (“American”), under which it will conduct certain operations using the “American 

Eagle” trade name on behalf of American. Republic states that the marketing air carrier will 

make all required disclosures of the identity of the operating air carrier in accordance with the 

provisions of Part 257 of the Department’s regulations (14 CFR Part 257). In addition, Republic 

states that aircraft operated under the “American Eagle” trade name will clearly identify the 

name of the operating carrier.

Part 215 of the Department’s regulations (14 CFR Part 215) provides that any air carrier wishing 

to use an alternative trade name must first register that name with the Department. The rule 

further states that the Department may register such name after the air carrier gives notification 

to similarly named air carriers of the proposed use of the name. In this case, we identified no 

other air carriers using a similar name other than the code share partners of American and its 

subsidiary, American Eagle Airlines, Inc. (“American Eagle”), who have previously been 

authorized use of the “American Eagle” trade name. Moreover, Republic states that American 

and its affiliate American Eagle are aware of and consent to Republic’s registration of the 

“American Eagle” trade name.

Under these circumstances, we acknowledge the registration of the trade name “American 

Eagle” by Republic for immediate use in their operations.
