Carry a piece of Southern California aviation history on your travels with this Los Angeles Airways luggage tag. Founded in 1947, LAA began airmail service before launching scheduled passenger flights in 1954, connecting Los Angeles with regional destinations by helicopter. Its pioneering service linked Los Angeles International Airport with local heliports, including stops near Disneyland Resort and Newport Beach. A thoughtful pick for aviation enthusiasts and collectors, this tag recalls an ambitious chapter in regional air travel that ended in 1971.
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.
