Independence Air, the low-cost, low-fares reincarnation of United Express carrier Atlantic Coast, grew to 32 destinations in its all-regional jet system by the end of its first full month of standalone operation in July. The Washington Dulles-based carrier reported load factors of 47%. The carrier's capacity rose during August as all of its jets transferred from Atlantic Coast. It will add its first non-hub routes, linking Orlando with both Knoxville and Columbia in October. Delta is the dominant carrier at Orlando.
