Independence Air is scheduled to take delivery of three more A319s this year, 18 in 2005 and another six in 2006, bringing the total fleet to 115 jet aircraft including other aircraft types. The first two Airbus A319s will begin service from Independence Air's hub at Washington Dulles International Airport in November of this year. The company plans to use the A319s to add service to many destinations in Florida and the West Coast.

After its emergence as an independent brand name, Independence Air became known for offering very low airfares: as little as $29 one-way to Florida from Washington Dulles International Airport. However, the company never overcame a series of financial problems during its transition. In February 2005, one of its aircraft was repossessed after the company missed a lease payment. Later that year, three more aircraft were sold or repossessed.

Independence Air has 2,700 employees and has recently operated as many as 200 flights a day—down from a high of 600 flights—from its hub at the Washington Dulles International Airport near the nation’s capital. The airline reported carrying nearly 300,000 passengers in November on its low-cost flights to 37 small and medium-sized cities in the US Northeast and Midwest.
