Midwest Airlines Heavy Knit Quarter-Zip Sweatshirt
Product Details & Size Guide
Bring the story of Midwest Airlines into your everyday wardrobe. The airline's roots reach back to company air transportation begun in 1948, before Midwest Express launched scheduled service from Milwaukee in 1984. Travelers came to associate the carrier with roomy two-by-two seating, meals and warm chocolate chip cookies. Its name, routes and ownership changed over time, and its independent operations ended in 2009. This design honors a memorable chapter in Milwaukee aviation for collectors and anyone who appreciates the history behind an airline name.
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.
