Celebrate a memorable airline chapter with an ornament honoring Midwest Airlines. From company air transportation begun in 1948 to Midwest Express passenger flights from Milwaukee in 1984, the brand built a distinctive identity rooted in service. Its roomy two-by-two seating and warm chocolate chip cookies remain part of its story, alongside its growth and eventual transition to a successor brand. A meaningful seasonal keepsake for former passengers, Milwaukee aviation fans, and collectors who remember the airline's place in U.S. travel history.
Midwest Airlines grew from air transportation Kimberly-Clark arranged for its executives and engineers in 1948, connecting Neenah, Wisconsin, with company mills. After the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978, the company formed a scheduled passenger airline, and Midwest Express Airlines began flying on June 11, 1984, from Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport. Its early fleet included Douglas DC-9 jets, and its service became known for roomy two-by-two leather seating, meals, and warm chocolate chip cookies. The airline expanded across Midwestern and East Coast destinations, later adding West Coast and Florida service. In 1995 it opened an Omaha hub; in 2002 it shortened its name to Midwest Airlines and transferred hub status to Kansas City. TPG Capital and Northwest Airlines acquired its parent in 2008. Republic Airways Holdings acquired Midwest in 2009, and its independent flight operations ended that November. In April 2010, Republic announced that the Midwest and Frontier brands would merge under the Frontier name. Elements of Midwest's identity, including its cookie and slogan, carried into the successor brand.
