Bring a concise chapter of western airline history into your everyday wardrobe with this Pacific Express Cotton Polo Shirt. The Chico-based carrier began flying in 1982 with an all-jet fleet, grew to serve destinations across the western United States, and later marketed connecting service as Pan Am Pacific Express. Its brief run ended on February 2, 1984, giving this name a distinctive place in regional aviation history. A thoughtful choice for aviation fans and collectors drawn to changing airline identities.
Pacific Express was an all-jet airline based in Chico, California, operating in the western United States from 1982 until early 1984. It was a subsidiary of WestAir Jet Inc. The carrier began service with seven British Aircraft Corporation BAC One-Eleven twin jets and later added Boeing 737-200 aircraft. It served as many as 22 destinations across the western United States. A marketing agreement with Pan American World Airways led the airline to market itself as Pan Am Pacific Express, promoting connecting passenger traffic at Los Angeles and San Francisco. Pacific Express ordered six new British Aerospace BAe 146-200 aircraft but never took delivery; some of those aircraft were subsequently purchased by Pacific Southwest Airlines. Shortly after its second anniversary, the company filed for bankruptcy in federal court and abruptly ended operations on February 2, 1984. The Pacific Express name is now used as the callsign of Pacific Airlines, described as the second-largest airline in Vietnam. Its short operating history, changing marketing identity, jet fleet, and links to larger carriers make it a distinctive chapter in the history of U.S. regional air service.
