GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Carry a piece of American airline history with a backpack inspired by Kiwi International Air Lines. Founded by former Eastern Air Lines employees, Kiwi began revenue flights from Newark on September 21, 1992, building an independent carrier with a focused route network and a story shaped by ambition and change. Its two operating periods make it a distinctive subject for aviation enthusiasts and collectors. Bring this piece along for everyday outings, travel days, or a display of interest in the people behind 1990s airline startups.
Kiwi International Air Lines was a U.S. airline founded by former Eastern Air Lines employees after that carrier entered bankruptcy in 1989. The founders first sought to buy Pan Am’s shuttle operation, but after their offer was rejected, they raised about $2 million and built a new airline. Kiwi began revenue flights on September 21, 1992, from Newark, New Jersey, with refurbished Boeing 727-200 aircraft serving Atlanta, Chicago, and Orlando. Its fleet later included McDonnell Douglas DC-9s. The airline emphasized added legroom and meals while operating a focused Newark-based route network. Financial and management difficulties led to bankruptcy in September 1996 and the end of scheduled service the following month. A bankruptcy sale in 1997 brought new ownership and a restart, with routes added and revised. In March 1999, federal authorities moved to revoke its operating certificate; Kiwi ceased flying that month. A bankruptcy judge approved the airline’s total liquidation in December 1999. Its brief history links the legacy of Eastern employees with Newark’s airline industry and the challenges faced by a small independent carrier.
