  Comair - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Comair (IATA: OH, ICAO: COM, and Callsign: Comair) is a subsidiary of Delta Air Lines based in Erlanger, Kentucky, a city near the Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky International Airport, which serves Cincinnati, Ohio.
Comair once operated a lot of flights to Orlando International Airport in Orlando, Florida, but Chautauqua Airlines has taken the reins of the dominant RJ airline in Orlando instead, although Delta's marketing solution is continually fluid.
Comair came to nationwide attention in the United States during Christmas 2004 when it cancelled all of its 1,160 flights for Saturday December 25 and Sunday December 26, stranding 30,000 people, many of them never reaching their destination for the holidays.
