Wholly owned Delta regional subsidiary Endeavor Air will open its seventh crew base in the coming months. The carrier plans to open a Raleigh/Durham domicile in the second quarter of 2025.
Initially, the new base will have between 130 and 170 total crew members assigned. The airline already has a maintenance base at the North Carolina airport.
Endeavor exclusively operates CRJ-700 and CRJ-900 aircraft under the Delta Connection brand. It currently has crew bases in Atlanta, New York LaGuardia, New York-JFK, Cincinnati, Detroit and Minneapolis.
“Endeavor’s current network flying includes considerable RDU-to-outstation activity that will best be covered by a crew base in RDU,” said Brian Darsow, the airline’s chief operating officer, in a Monday announcement. “A crew base in RDU will increase efficiency and support operational reliability. The RDU crew base will support Endeavor’s operation as the airline ramps up to operating 141 aircraft by the summer of 2025.”
In addition, Endeavor has maintenance-only bases in Des Moines, Iowa; Mosinee, Wisconsin; Indianapolis; and Knoxville, Tennessee.
