Celebrate a short-lived airline with a story that still captures aviation fans’ attention. Pacific Express began operations in 1982 in Chico, California, serving communities across the western United States with an all-jet fleet. Its later Pan Am Pacific Express identity, plans for a new aircraft type, and sudden cessation of service on February 2, 1984, mark a distinctive period in regional airline history. This metal sign brings that memorable carrier into a collection or personal space. A conversation piece for airline historians and fans of classic aviation.
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.
