Aha!, the brand used by regional airline ExpressJet, inaugurated its first non-stop flight to Pasco/Tri-Cities, Washington. It is the first of eight new destinations to be served by the new carrier. Its main hub will be Reno-Tahoe International Airport and will operate to smaller West Coast cities in the states of California, Oregon, and Washington.
Destinations chosen by Aha! are cities that currently have no direct service to Reno-Tahoe, thus providing passengers with a more convenient way to travel without extensive layovers.

“The new Aha! nonstop flights to Reno-Tahoe eliminate the hassle of a long commute by car or multiple airport connections and layovers from Pasco and the other seven communities. Residents can now take a one- to two-hour nonstop flight and see Reno and Tahoe, or do business without losing a full day of travel – the perfect thing for short, spontaneous trips!” said Subodh Karnik, CEO of Aha!
Aha! will offer three weekly flights to each destination with 50-seat Embraer ERJ145 regional aircraft. In the coming months, the airline plans to serve 20 cities from Reno-Tahoe. Promotional fares for the flights start as low as $49 each way.
