Make every journey a nod to Houston Metro Airlines, the Houston-area commuter carrier founded in 1969. Its first short flights linked Clear Lake City with Houston Intercontinental, supported by a dedicated airfield near the Johnson Space Center. The route map later reached communities across Texas and Louisiana, and Metroflight eventually began American Eagle service in 1984. This travel mug suits aviation-history collectors, airline enthusiasts and travelers drawn to the story of regional flying and the connections that carried it into a broader airline network.
Founded in 1969 to serve the Houston area, Houston Metro Airlines began with short cross-town flights linking Clear Lake City to Houston Intercontinental Airport. The company built a dedicated short take-off and landing airstrip, terminal and hangar near the NASA Johnson Space Center. Its network grew to include destinations across southeast and south Texas, as well as Lafayette and Lake Charles, Louisiana. Early flights used de Havilland Canada Twin Otter aircraft; Short 330 turboprops later supported higher-demand routes. In 1974, its Metroflight division tried a brief Twin Otter shuttle between Dallas Love Field and Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, ending the service in 1975. The company expanded into a holding company, acquiring or creating regional operators and supplying feeder flights for major airlines. Metroflight began American Eagle service on November 1, 1984, while an Atlanta-based operation flew as Eastern Metro Express. Acquisitions included Chaparral Airlines in 1987 and Brockway Air in 1989. Metro entered Chapter 11 in 1991 and ceased operations in May 1993. AMR Corporation bought the airline's assets; some Metroflight assets later went to Simmons Airlines. The Clear Lake City airfield was subsequently abandoned and demolished for suburban development.
