Republic Airways Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: RJET) today reported full year 2012 net income of $51.3 million, or $1.02 per diluted share, a $203.1 million improvement from our full year 2011 results of a net loss of $151.8 million, or $3.14 per diluted share.

“We’re pleased with the solid financial improvement we experienced in 2012,” said Republic Airways Holdings Chairman, President and CEO Bryan Bedford. “Our restructuring efforts in 2011 laid the foundation for Frontier to return to profitability in 2012, despite higher fuel costs. Our 50-seat RJ restructuring effort completed last October enabled us to return all of our idled aircraft to fixed-fee service with our partners and significantly reduced the financial burden associated with our Chautauqua operation.”
