Bring a little airline history to your desk with this Kiwi International Air Lines mouse pad. Kiwi was founded by former Eastern employees and started revenue flights from Newark on September 21, 1992. Its focused routes, changing fortunes, and later restart capture the challenges of building a small independent carrier during the 1990s. A thoughtful desk accent for aviation enthusiasts, airline memorabilia collectors, and anyone interested in Newark’s role in the story of American air travel.
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.
