	Continental Connection (Regions Air) Saab 340 A	Cleveland - Hopkins International (CLE/KCLE) USA - Ohio, July 28, 2006	Chuck Slusarczyk Jr. Contact
	Registration/Serial No. | Remarks & Notes
	N112PX (cn 340A-025) Regions Air operated a trio of Saab 340A's briefly on behalf of Continental Airlines operating to several EAS (Essential Air Service) cities out of Cleveland. This one never received the Continental livery like the other two, instead it operated in these basic Fina Air colors.

	N112PX (cn 340A-025) These guys sure didn't last long after they came to Cleveland. The Saab 340 was a new type for Regions Air, and I don't think the older model A's they received ever performed the way they had hoped them to. This particular aircraft wears the colors of its previous operator, the defunct Fina Air of Puerto Rico. It never did get a new coat of paint before Regions Air themselves folded.

	Registration/Serial No. | Remarks & Notes
	N112PX (cn 340A-025) Region's Air Saab service was a short-lived experiment for the company where they used several rather used Saab's on EAS (services) from Cleveland. After several months, their entire operation was shut down and all the aircraft were parked including this example still wearing the basic colors of its former operator, Fina Air.

	N112PX (cn 340A-025) Still wearing the basic colors of previous operator Fina Air of Puerto Rico, this was the the first of the Regions Air Saab 340's to arrive in Cleveland for what turned out to be a very short tenure performing EAS services on behalf of Continental Airlines and the US Government.

	N112PX (cn 340A-025) Parked outside of Commutair's hangar at the northeast corner of the airport, this is one of a small handful of Saab's that were operated by Region's Air as a Continental Connection carrier to several cities in the US government's EAS (Essential Air Service) program. Still dressed in the basic colors of defunct Puerto Rican carrier Fina Air, this Saab never did get painted into CO colors before Region's Air folded operations.
