Chicago Express, which operates as ATA Connection, connects smaller Midwest cities with Chicago's Midway International Airport or Indianapolis. The regional service has about 400 employees in Chicago and 200 more in Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Flint and Grand Rapids, Mich., and the Indiana cities of Evansville, Fort Wayne and South Bend. Chicago Express has 16 Saab 340B aircraft, 14 of them leased, and a maintenance hub at Midway. The regional airline's federal operating certificate will be included in the sale, ATA said. Indianapolis-based ATA, which is owned by ATA Holdings Corp., filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in October. ATA announced plans in January to halt its Chicago Express flights in the coming months. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright 2005 AP
