Keep a pioneering airline story close at hand with this Los Angeles Airways can cooler. LAA began carrying airmail in 1947 and launched scheduled passenger service in 1954, connecting travelers across the Los Angeles region by helicopter. Its history includes the early civil operation of the Sikorsky S-61 and a service network reaching destinations such as Anaheim and Newport Beach. A relaxed everyday accessory for gatherings, it also makes a memorable pick for aviation fans, Southern California locals, and collectors of airline history.
Los Angeles Airways (LAA) was a helicopter airline founded by Clarence Belinn in October 1947 and based in Westchester, California. It began airmail service on October 1, 1947, and started scheduled passenger service in November 1954, becoming the world’s first scheduled helicopter airline. Its main hub was Los Angeles International Airport, connecting passengers with local heliports including Disneyland Resort in Anaheim and the Newporter Resort in Newport Beach. Service later expanded to Ontario and San Bernardino. In March 1962, LAA acquired four Sikorsky S-61 helicopters, becoming the type’s first civil operator. In 1965, the Civil Aeronautics Board granted the company a permanent certificate for scheduled passenger operations in greater Los Angeles, while federal flight authority allowed instrument-rules operations. The board also ended annual financial support, judging commercial helicopter service not viable. LAA considered buying Sikorsky S-64 aircraft but could not secure financing. After two fatal accidents and an unsuccessful purchase agreement with Golden West Airlines, LAA ceased operations in 1971.
