Product Details & Size Guide
Introduce a little traveler to the story of Britt Airways with an infant bodysuit celebrating a distinctive chapter in regional aviation. The airline’s roots reach back to a Terre Haute operation in 1964, before growth brought commuter service and connections to larger carriers. Its changing fleet and network make Britt an appealing name for aviation-minded families and collectors with Indiana ties. A thoughtful keepsake for welcoming a new arrival, family travel photos, or sharing an interest in airline history across generations.
Britt Airways began in 1964 as Vercoa Air Service and was based in Terre Haute, Indiana. William and Marilyn Britt purchased the company in 1975, after which it became Britt Airlines and later Britt Airways. The commuter carrier expanded from regional routes into a larger network, operating Beechcraft 99 aircraft for Allegheny Commuter by 1969. Chicago O’Hare became a major hub, with additional operations in Indianapolis and St. Louis. Its fleet included turboprops such as the Swearingen Metroliner and Fairchild Hiller FH-227, and, by early 1985, BAC One-Eleven jets. In 1985, founder Bill Britt sold the airline to People Express. Following People Express’s merger with Continental in 1987, Britt’s flights shifted to the Continental Express banner, serving hubs including Houston, Newark, Cleveland, and Denver. The Chicago operation ended in 1989, while a route from Chicago Meigs Field to Springfield continued until 1991. Britt Airways merged with ExpressJet in 1996, ending its independent history.
