Putting our people first has always been our mission at Republic Airways. Because of that, we’ve been named as one of Central Indiana’s Top Workplaces by IndyStar. We want to thank all our Associates for being recognized as one of Central Indiana’s Top Workplaces.
The 2026 Republic Airways® Plane Pull presented by Lucas Oil marked the 14th time we’ve gathered together with our community to raise funds and awareness for charities whose mission is to support and grant hope to children suffering from life-threatening or terminal illness.
The Plane Pull began as a celebration of Tyler Frenzel, a 9-year-old boy from Carmel, IN, who passed away from leukemia in 2004. Many of the organizations we champion today supported Tyler during his treatment. What started as a grassroots giving movement founded by our Associates has grown into an annual commemoration of what we can accomplish together.
At Republic Airways, we know we can’t succeed without the support of our communities. Dedication to our BEST Guiding Principles drives us to give back and provide our Associates the opportunity to engage with causes they care about.
Be good stewards of our resources
Encourage a culture of fun and action
Strive for excellence in everything we do
Trust, respect and care for one another
The 2026 Plane Pull is an excellent example of one of the many ways our BEST Guiding Principles come to life through the passion of our Associates and our community.
“Thank you to everybody for coming out and making this the best plane pull yet.” — Republic Airways President and Chief Commercial Officer Matt Koscal
This year’s Plane Pull saw 52 teams participate, and combined with the 345 guests at the Plane Pull Gala at the Lucas Oil Estate, raised over $850,000 for A Kid Again, Indiana Wish, Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital, Riley Children’s Foundation and several other children-focused charities.
This figure brings the 14-year total to nearly $7 million. An extraordinary number that is only possible thanks to our Associates, beneficiaries, partners, community members and especially our sponsors.
Want to support your community? Mark your calendars for Saturday, April 24, 2027, when we’ll celebrate the 15th Annual Plane Pull and continue this tradition of giving. In the meantime, learn about all the other ways Republic Airways serves causes across the country and even abroad.
We're looking for leaders, innovators and enthusiastic learners to help us change the aviation industry.
We are proud to partner with and represent American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and United Airlines. Together, we provide our passengers with a smooth flying experience.
At Republic Airways, our successes are shared by our Associates. Together is the only way we fly.
