Endeavor Air is a regional airline in the United States headquartered at the Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Delta Air Lines, and staffs, operates and maintains aircraft used on Delta Connection flights that are scheduled, marketed and sold by Delta Air Lines.

The airline was founded as Express Airlines I in 1985[1] and was renamed Pinnacle Airlines in 2002. In 2012, Pinnacle's parent company filed for Chapter 11 reorganization, then emerged as a wholly owned subsidiary of Delta Air Lines.[2][3] The airline was renamed Endeavor Air on August 1, 2013.[4]

Its corporate headquarters are located in Delta Air Lines Building C, on the property of Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport.[4][5] It has hubs in Atlanta, Cincinnati, Detroit, Minneapolis/St. Paul, and New York's LaGuardia and JFK airports.[5] Until the restructuring, Endeavor also operated a hub in Memphis.[6]
