Champion Air brings a distinctive chapter of airline history to a little traveler's everyday wardrobe. The company grew from MGM Grand Air, then became a Minnesota-based charter carrier known for Boeing 727 flights serving vacation travelers, sports teams, and other groups. Its story connects California premium service with the busy charter era that ended in 2008. This toddler tee is a thoughtful pick for family aviation fans and collectors sharing an interest in the people and companies behind passenger flight.
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.
