GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Wear a piece of a brief Las Vegas airline story with this National Airlines hoodie or sweatshirt. The carrier started scheduled service in 1999 with a streamlined Boeing 757 operation, then faced rising fuel costs, recession, and the effects of the September 11 attacks. After filing for Chapter 11 in December 2000, it ceased operations on November 6, 2002. Its short timeline and final flight to Dallas/Fort Worth make it a meaningful choice for aviation enthusiasts and collectors of American corporate history.
National Airlines was a short-lived American low-fare carrier headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, and the third U.S. airline to use the National Airlines name. Harrah's Entertainment and the former Rio Hotel & Casino, Inc. each contributed $15 million toward its start-up costs in July 1998; Wexford Capital also invested. Service began on May 27, 1999, with a simple operating model centered on Boeing 757 aircraft and routes linking Las Vegas with selected high-traffic cities. Michael Conway served as president and CEO. The airline faced rising fuel costs and recession, and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on December 6, 2000. Financial pressure intensified after the September 11, 2001 attacks. National ceased operations on November 6, 2002, after 23 months in Chapter 11. Its final departure from Las Vegas was Flight 354 to Dallas/Fort Worth. At grounding, the airline served 14 U.S. destinations and had carried 1.85 million passengers through McCarran International Airport during January–November 2002. The carrier's brief history connects Las Vegas tourism, low-fare airline growth, and the financial difficulties that led to its closure.
