GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
From premium scheduled flights in California to vacation and sports charters based in Minnesota, Champion Air brought together several chapters of airline history. The company standardized on Boeing 727 aircraft after adopting the Champion Air name in 1995, then grew as a charter provider closely tied to Northwest and MLT Vacations. Its flights ended in 2008 after major contracts shifted and costs mounted. This mouse pad adds an aviation-history touch to a desk for airline researchers, collectors, and fans of specialized flying.
Champion Air grew out of MGM Grand Air, a California airline established in 1987 that began flying in September of that year. MGM Grand Air operated premium scheduled service between Los Angeles and New York, a shuttle between Los Angeles and Orange County, and charter flights. As business jets gained popularity, the airline became unprofitable. Minnesota tour operator Front Page Tours bought its air operator's certificate in July 1995, changed the name to Champion Air, and standardized the fleet on Boeing 727 aircraft. In March 1997, Minnesota Twins owner Carl Pohlad and Northwest Airlines acquired the company from Richard Page. Champion Air moved to Minneapolis and shared facilities and resources with Northwest, while becoming a leading charter provider for Northwest-owned MLT Vacations. MLT traffic represented about 75 to 80 percent of Champion Air's operations. Northwest planned to move those passengers to its own flights during 2008, and also took over a charter contract serving 13 National Basketball Association teams. On March 31, 2008, president and CEO Lee Steele announced voluntary liquidation. High fuel costs and the aging 727-200 fleet were cited among the reasons. All flights ended May 31, 2008.
