Cattala Airways Regional

Cattala Airways Regional is a wholly owned subsidiary airline of Cattala Airways, part of the Cattala Aviation Group. Based in the headquarters of CAG in Jennai Harbour, Cattala, it operates a network of former Cattala Airways services to domestic and European airports. All services operate with Cattala Airways's full colours, titles, and flight numbers.

History
In 2010, Cattala Airways Holdings, then the partial owners of Cattala Airways, purchased a processed order for 12 Embraer E190 jets from the bankrupt independent airline, AirRoumeli. These planes were delivered into service in May 2013 and were stored in hangars at King Marco Bonnecelli Airport, as all existing routes from that airport were covered by larger Airbus A320s.

A regional airline had been proposed for a number of years, initially from Regno Aerei, who have focused on long-haul routes since the late 1990s. Cattala Airways slowly grew from a regional airline to an international one, but upon its merger with Regno Aerei in 2011 the idea was dropped.

In 2012, the corporation announced it would be creating a 10-year cycle system for its fleet and routes. After 16 years of short-termism, the flotation of Cattala Aviation Group on the Jennai Stock Exchange meant that CEO Vincenzo Cargiolotti decided to radically overhaul the management practices of an airline that had come close to collapse twice and had been "bounced between private and public ownership continuously", in his own words.

Cattala Airways Regional was launched in June 2013, as part of this DecTwo masterplan, and meant all routes from King Marco Bonnecelli moved to the new Embraer E190 jets from the Airbus A320s that were previously used on these flights. All domestic services were shifted as well, reducing the number of daily flights by the core Cattala Airways group significantly, but also freeing up slots for new, more profitable and more popular routes.
