Independence Air Men's Sport Polo Shirt
Bring a Dulles-era aviation story into your everyday rotation with this Independence Air sport polo shirt. The airline launched in 2004 after Atlantic Coast Airlines chose a bold independent path, building a network around Washington Dulles before its final flights in 2006. It is an easy way to recognize a distinctive short-lived carrier that still resonates with former travelers, aviation enthusiasts, airport staff, and collectors of memorable airline brands.
Independence Air was a low-cost airline based at Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia. Its predecessor, Atlantic Coast Airlines, began on December 15, 1989, operating feeder service for United Airlines and Delta Air Lines under their regional brands. After its United contract was withdrawn, Atlantic Coast reinvented itself as Independence Air, a transition announced on November 19, 2003. Flight operations under the new name began June 16, 2004. Owned by FLYi, Inc., the carrier was headquartered near Dulles in unincorporated Loudoun County and built a network centered on East Coast markets with service extending west. Its fleet initially emphasized 50-seat regional jets before larger Airbus A319 aircraft were added. The airline entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy on November 7, 2005, and ended service on January 5, 2006. In March 2006, Northwest Airlines acquired its operating certificate and reported that the resulting regional airline would be renamed Compass Airlines.
