Celebrate the Midwest Airlines story with a cap that nods to a distinctive chapter in American air travel. The airline began scheduled passenger service as Midwest Express in 1984, flying from Milwaukee and building a following for roomy seating, meals and warm chocolate chip cookies. As its name and network changed, the brand remained closely tied to Milwaukee aviation history. This piece brings that legacy to mind for collectors, longtime travelers and anyone drawn to the character of classic airline brands.
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.
