Give your everyday carry a connection to Altair Airlines, the Philadelphia commuter carrier founded in 1967. Its timetable linked northeastern cities, and its later move from turboprops to Fokker F28 and DC-9 Starjets marked an ambitious new phase. This laptop sleeve celebrates the Blue Eagle identity and a short-lived airline whose story reflects the changing face of regional service from the 1960s through 1982.
Altair Airlines was established in Philadelphia in 1967 as a commuter carrier operating small piston twin aircraft. Its main shareholder that year was Tristram Colket, and the airline had 587 employees. A July 1969 timetable shows service connecting northeastern cities, with Philadelphia as its hub and headquarters. Altair later added Beechcraft 99 and Nord 262 turboprops. By the late 1970s, it was pursuing expanded scheduled service along the U.S. East Coast and introduced Fokker F28 Fellowship and McDonnell Douglas DC-9-30 jets, which it called Starjets. The company retired turboprops as it shifted toward jet operations, but its income did not outpace the debt it incurred. In November 1982, after Gulf Oil Corporation demanded payment of more than one million dollars in jet fuel costs, Altair sought legal protection and filed for bankruptcy. It ceased operations that month with six Fokker F28 series 4000 aircraft and three DC-9-30s. Its final president was Henry P. Hill. Many employees found work with other airlines at Philadelphia International Airport.
