Mark the season with a keepsake honoring Midway Airlines and its distinctive place in aviation history. The carrier began with Chicago-to-New York flights in 1993, shifted its hub to Raleigh-Durham in 1995, and later returned to regional service before closing in 2003. Its compact history of changing routes, partners, and aircraft resonates with airline collectors and former travelers. This ornament brings that story into a collection or seasonal display with a nod to East Coast skies.
Midway Airlines operated in the United States from November 1993 to October 30, 2003. Formed from Jet Express, a commuter carrier that provided code-sharing feeder services for Trans World Airlines and USAir, it began with flights between Chicago Midway and New York LaGuardia using two Fokker 100s. The airline built a small Chicago hub before moving to North Carolina in early 1995, establishing a hub at Raleigh-Durham International Airport and eventually moving its headquarters to Morrisville. At its peak, it offered almost 200 daily flights from Raleigh-Durham to 33 destinations. Its fleet included Fokker 100s, Airbus A320s, Bombardier CRJ-200s, and Boeing 737-700s. After filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in August 2001, it stopped flying in September, resumed service in December, and discontinued its 737 operation in July 2002. In February 2003, it returned as a US Airways Express operator with regional jets from Raleigh-Durham and Washington Reagan National. Unable to secure enough capital, it ceased operations in October 2003 and entered Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
