Carry a reminder of Southwest flight history wherever your travels lead. Air Vegas Airlines was established in 1971 in Las Vegas, where it offered sightseeing trips toward the Grand Canyon and charter flights. The company expanded its fleet and moved between area airports as its service developed, eventually operating Beechcraft 99 aircraft until airline operations ended in 2004. This passport cover celebrates the journey of a regional carrier whose story connected visitors, the desert, and the skies above the canyon.
Air Vegas was established in 1971 and operated sightseeing flights from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon, along with charter services. Founded by Sid Petty, the airline initially based its operations at McCarran International Airport, later moving to Sky Harbor Airport, subsequently renamed Henderson Executive Airport. Its early fleet included two Cessna 207s, a Cessna 337 Skymaster, and a Beechcraft A-36 Bonanza. By 1975 it had five aircraft, and by 1997 its fleet had grown to twenty. During the 1980s, the airline used Cessna 402s on Grand Canyon tours. In the 1990s it began using faster Beechcraft C99 airliners and shifted from air taxi rules to more restrictive airline operating rules. In 1993, it carried about 55,000 tourists on its Grand Canyon route; the source reports that 99 percent were foreign visitors. In the early 2000s, Air Vegas moved from Henderson to North Las Vegas Airport. It continued using Beech 99 aircraft until airline operations ended on September 30, 2004, about sixteen months after Petty’s death. Competitors included Scenic Airlines and Lang Air, which later became Vision Airlines.
