GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Celebrate Midwest Airlines and its memorable place in Milwaukee aviation history with this bottle opener. The carrier's roots trace to corporate air transportation begun in 1948, while Midwest Express launched scheduled passenger service in 1984. Travelers remember the airline for its distinctive hospitality, including roomy seating and warm chocolate chip cookies. From its Milwaukee hub to later chapters under changing ownership, the brand remains a favorite subject for collectors. This practical keepsake suits airline enthusiasts and anyone drawn to local business 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.
