GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
For young fans of flight and local history, this Air New Orleans youth hoodie celebrates a regional carrier with a memorable Southern story. Founded in Panama City in 1981, the airline later moved its headquarters to Birmingham and connected smaller cities through New Orleans under the Continental Express name. Its turboprop-era network reflected the commuter airline model of the 1980s, ending when operations ceased in 1988. A meaningful choice for aviation-minded kids and families who appreciate overlooked chapters of travel history.
Air New Orleans was founded in 1981 in Panama City, Florida, as a commuter airline intended to provide scheduled passenger service across the southeastern United States, from Texas to Florida. Despite its name, its original headquarters were in Panama City, with some executive offices in New Orleans. In 1986, the airline moved its headquarters to Birmingham, Alabama. That June, it operated as a Continental Express carrier under a code-sharing agreement with Continental Airlines, connecting passengers through New Orleans. Its commuter turboprop fleet included BAe Jetstream 31 and Beechcraft C99 aircraft. By early 1987, Continental Express service linked New Orleans with Birmingham and cities including Gulfport, Fort Walton Beach, Jacksonville, Mobile, Orlando, Panama City, Pensacola, and Tallahassee. In January 1988, the airline filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, then ceased operations on June 17, 1988. Its brief history reflects the regional commuter-airline model of the 1980s, connecting smaller Southern markets with larger airline networks.
