Republic Airways will host its 14th Annual Plane Pull on April 25, 2026 at its Indianapolis maintenance hangar, having raised $6 million total and $1 million in 2025 for four children’s charities. Severe Northeast snow storms have forced the carrier to cancel regional flights, potentially impacting near‐term capacity.

The event has raised $6 million since inception, including $1 million at the 2025 pull, benefiting A Kid Again, Indiana Wish, Riley Children’s Foundation and Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at Ascension St. Vincent.
