Show your interest in airline history with a New York Air car magnet. Founded as a low-fare carrier in 1980, the airline began service from LaGuardia and became known for its apple identity, Northeast routes, and Flying Nosh snacks. Its story moved from early expansion to a business-travel focus and, ultimately, combination with Continental. This keepsake is a natural fit for aviation collectors, road-trip fans, and anyone who remembers the changing shape of U.S. air travel in the 1980s.
New York Air was a low-fare U.S. airline launched by Texas Air Corporation, which announced its plans in September 1980. Based at Hangar 5 at LaGuardia Airport in Queens, it began flying on December 19, 1980, with service from New York to Washington National. Its early network focused on hourly routes linking New York, Boston, and Washington, and later included hubs or operating centers at LaGuardia, Newark, Boston, Raleigh-Durham, and Washington Dulles. After early financial losses and route changes, the airline repositioned itself under chairman Michael E. Levine, adding business-oriented services and expanding its Dulles operation. Its fleet included DC-9 and MD-80 aircraft, followed by Boeing 737-300s from 1985. Beginning in 1986, Texas Air coordinated the operations of its subsidiaries, and New York Air worked with Continental under the New York Air/Continental Team name. In January 1987, Texas Air announced plans to combine New York Air, Frontier Airlines, and People Express Airlines with Continental. New York Air ceased operating on February 1, 1987; its aircraft were first marked with Continental's New York Air titles and later received Continental's full livery. Continental retained some former New York Air shuttle operations.
