Business Express Airlines Heavy Knit Quarter-Zip Sweatshirt
Layer up with a tribute to Business Express Airlines and its distinctive place in regional aviation. Beginning as Atlantic Air in 1982, the carrier became Business Express in 1985 and grew through acquisitions, new routes, and evolving partner identities. The design looks back to BizEX service across the Northeast, Boston Logan hub expansion, the BAe 146 and Avro RJ70 era, and the lively Fly BEX Jets program. Its independent story concluded with the 2000 move to American Eagle.
Business Express Airlines was an American regional airline founded as Atlantic Air in 1982 and renamed Business Express in 1985 to appeal to business commuters. Often called Business Express, BizEX, or BEX, the carrier grew through acquisitions, purchasing Pilgrim Airlines in February 1986; Pilgrim had previously acquired NewAir of New Haven. The transaction broadened access to New York and Washington, D.C. markets. Business Express later acquired Mall Airways in September 1989, adding Canadian routes to Toronto, Montreal, and Ottawa, and acquired Brockway Air turboprop equipment that December. It became an early Delta Connection carrier, later added a Northwest Airlink affiliation, and joined American programs as American Connection and then American Eagle. Its 1990s jet operations used BAe 146-200s and Avro RJ70s. AMR Eagle Holding announced its purchase of the airline in December 1998. On December 1, 2000, Business Express ceased independent operations when they transferred to American Eagle.
