Bring a little-known airline story into your space with this AccessAir metal sign. Founded in Des Moines in 1998, AccessAir started flying in February 1999, linking Iowa communities with larger destinations through point-to-point service and brief intermediate stops. Its ambitious route map, red-and-black aircraft markings, and circled-A logo give collectors recognizable details to remember. The airline filed for bankruptcy, restarted in 2000, and shut down in February 2001, making this a conversation-starting piece for aviation rooms and airline-history collections.
AccessAir was a short-lived low-cost airline founded in 1998 and based in Des Moines, Iowa. After several delays, it began flying in February 1999, aiming to offer lower fares in markets including Des Moines, the Quad Cities, and Peoria. Its early route network linked Des Moines with New York's LaGuardia Airport through Quad Cities or Peoria stops; direct service to Los Angeles and a stop in Colorado Springs were added later. The airline also served or planned routes to cities including Chicago, San Francisco, Miami, Atlanta, Boston, Portland, and Seattle. AccessAir used point-to-point routes and through-flights, with brief intermediate stops. Despite discounted fares, passenger loads remained low. It filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in November 1999, after nine months of operations, following about 14,000 enplanements and estimated losses of $30 million. In spring 2000, Des Moines business leader John Ruan III provided funds to take control and restart the airline. Flights resumed in November 2000, initially linking Des Moines and Chicago Midway, with additional destinations intended. Low passenger numbers persisted, and the airline shut down in February 2001. Its fleet included Boeing 737-200 jetliners.
