Keep plans and ideas in a notebook inspired by Midway Airlines, a memorable chapter in Chicago aviation. The carrier began operations in 1979 and helped restore activity at Chicago Midway Airport. Over the years it shifted from low-fare flights to Metrolink business-class service and a wider hub network, before its original operation ended in 1991. This notebook suits aviation enthusiasts, airline-history collectors, and anyone who enjoys recording journeys, research, or everyday thoughts with a story of airline change close at hand.
Midway Airlines was a U.S. carrier based in Chicago, Illinois. Incorporated on October 13, 1976, it received federal operating certification before the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 and began flying on November 1, 1979. Its launch helped revive Chicago Midway Airport, which had been nearly deserted. The airline began as a low-fare, no-frills carrier serving Detroit, Cleveland and Kansas City, then tried all-business-class Metrolink service before becoming a conventional hub airline. It acquired Air Florida assets in 1984 and operated Midway Express before bringing that service under the Midway name in 1985. From the mid-1980s, it expanded its Chicago network and added regional service through Midway Commuter. In 1989, it bought Philadelphia gates and other assets from bankrupt Eastern Air Lines and opened a second hub there, but withdrew in 1990 amid mounting losses. Midway filed for Chapter 11 in March 1991. A proposed sale to Northwest Airlines fell through, and the original carrier ceased flying on November 13, 1991. Investors later bought its name and launched a separate airline in 1993; that successor ended operations in 2003.
