Republic Airways plans to continue operating three Bombardier Q400  turboprops from Denver this winter, reversing earlier plans to dismantle  the fleet completely. As a result, Republic intends to continue to  connect Denver with Aspen until at least April. Republic in February  announced plans to replace all 11 Bombardier Q400s flown by its Lynx  Airlines subsidiary with Embraer E170s and E190s. However, it  experienced trouble “remarketing” all the high-speed turboprops, leading  to the decision to continue flying three of them–to Aspen, Durango and  Colorado Springs–while it folds Lynx into the Republic certificate.  Republic originally planned to cease its Denver to Aspen service on  September 31.
