Mark a memorable chapter in airline history with an Atlantic Coast Airlines ornament. Founded in Virginia, ACA began operations in 1989 and built a regional network through United Express and Delta Connection service. Its transition to Independence Air in 2004 reflected a major change in airline partnerships, while the operating certificate later played a role in forming Compass Airlines. This keepsake is made for collectors who value the people, routes, and business decisions behind regional aviation, from Dulles and Chicago O'Hare to cities across the East Coast.
Atlantic Coast Airlines (ACA), owned by Atlantic Coast Holdings, began operations on December 15, 1989, and from its inception marketed flights for United Airlines. The regional carrier was based in Virginia, with headquarters first in Sterling, then Reston, and later the Dulles area of Loudoun County. It operated United Express service from Dulles and Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, using several regional aircraft types. In 1999, ACA established Atlantic Coast Jet to fly as a Delta Connection carrier; that operation was later reintegrated. Delta Connection flights served Boston, New York City, and Covington, Kentucky. After United entered bankruptcy protection in December 2002, contract negotiations and competition prompted ACA to prepare an alternative plan. On November 19, 2003, the airline announced it would leave its partner brands and become the low-cost carrier Independence Air. ACA's United Express status ended August 4, 2004, and its Delta Connection status ended November 2; Independence Air service had begun June 16, 2004. Independence Air ceased operations on January 5, 2006. On March 10, Northwest Airlines bought its DOT operating certificate, which was used to form Compass Airlines, beginning service in August 2007.
