GP EXPRESS AIRLINES

Nebraska-based GP Express began flying in 1986 and quickly established a route network that connected points in Colorado and Nebraska.

Between 1992 and 1994 the airline provided Federally-subsidized Essential Air Service (EAS) flights between Atlanta and the following cities: Anniston, Gadsden, Muscle Shoals, and Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Laurel, MS, and Hilton Head Island, SC. With the exception of Atlanta- Hilton Head Island, all of these routes were originally flown by Southern Airways (which became Republic) and had subsequently been taken over and then abandoned by Atlantic Southeast and Southeastern

GP Express flew Beechcraft C99s from the Atlanta hub.
