From Wikipedia: Command Airways Command Airways(IATA:DD) was a United Statesregional airlinebased at theDutchess County AirportinWappinger, New York, just outsidePoughkeepsie, which was operational from 1966 to 1988. Command Airways: IATAICAO .. Callsign: DD .. Founded: 1965 .. Ceased operations: 1988 ..Hubs: Dutchess County Airport .. Focus cities: New York City .. Alliance: American Airlines .. Fleet size: 15 .. Destinations: 13 .. Headquarters: Poughkeepsie, New York, U.S. .. Key people: Kingsley G. Morse (founder /CEO). History The airline was founded by Kingsley G. Morse (19311993), who was the airline's sole CEO during its entire existence. The company was established asMid-Hudson Airlines. At its peak in 1988, Command Airways had 538 employees and 15 aircraft serving 13 airports. In 1984 it began transitioning into operating in affiliation with American Airlines, much likeAmericanConnectiondid. By maintaining independent management and separate ownership, it continued to do business in its owncolorsas Command Airways, although its fleet was primarily dedicated for American Airlines operations. This permitted Command to gain marketing presence associated only usually with much larger airline carriers. Command was one of the first regional airlines to carry the American Eagle brand when it became a part of theAmerican Eaglesystem which included repainting their entire fleet under the American Eagle banner. This rebranding process of regional airlines commenced circa 1985 and accelerated when American Airlinesparent companybegan purchasing a number of smaller regional carriers after the bankruptcy (December 1987) of one of its affiliate partners namedAvair,which was operating similarly to Command Airways. AMR Corporationthe parent company of American Airlines, purchased Command Airways in 1988and renamed itAMR Eagle/Command Airways. This and other AMR affiliate and subsidiary airlines andFlagship Airlinesflew under the American Eagle banner before all parties began being referred to more simply as American Eagle in 1991. AMR Eagle/Command Airways was operated separately until all AMR subsidiary regional carriers excludingExecutive Airlineswere merged intoAMR Simmons Airlines, in late 1998. The new company formed from Simmons Airlines was calledAmerican Eagle Airlines(utilizing the former Simmons Airlines two letterIATACode "MQ"). During its existence, Command Airways operated theBeech 99,de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter,Short 330,Short 360-300 andATR-42turbopropairliners. Command was the first U.S. airline to operate both the Short 330starting in 1976 and the ATR-42 beginning in 1986. Its hub was at the Dutchess County Airport near Poughkeepsie, which CEO Kingsley Morse strongly supported in the 1970s, in preference toStewart Airportwest of Newburgh. Dutchess County Airport no longer has scheduled commercial airline service.
