After its bankruptcy in 1998, Orange Airlines disappeared for some time. In late 2003, a group of executives from the failed carrier secured $15 million in funding to begin service out of Orlando Sanford with three leased Airbus A319s, however the restarted Orange Airlines failed within six months. In 2006, a second attempt to reinvent Orange Airlines was carried out, purchasing several CRJ200 and CRJ700 airliners. The carrier grew quickly and soon began subcontracting for larger airlines. In 2018, Orange Airlines (OAL) has a fleet of 135 Bombardier and Embraer aircraft, 117 of which are painted in the liveries of other airlines, operating as a regional partner. Eighteen planes, including the two shown here - are painted in Orange Airlines' own livery, designed in 2006, and operate the carrier's few own routes, many of which are flown under the US government's Essential Air Services program.

Note: Feel free to use OAL as a regional contractor if you want. I can PM the OAL logo to anyone who wants it.
