GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
A fitting place for notes, plans and memories inspired by Ransome Airlines. Founded by J. Dawson Ransome in 1967, the company started with flights linking East Coast cities from Philadelphia. Later partnerships gave the airline a series of identities and ties to larger networks, from Allegheny and Delta to Pan Am and TWA. Its history offers a window into the commuter-airline era and the connections that shaped it. This notebook celebrates that journey for aviation enthusiasts, researchers and airline memorabilia collectors.
Ransome Airlines was founded by J. Dawson Ransome in 1967, with revenue flights beginning that March. Headquartered at Northeast Philadelphia Airport, it first served East Coast cities from Philadelphia to Norfolk with small Beechcraft Model 18 aircraft. In August 1970, it began operating as Allegheny Commuter, feeding flights to Allegheny Airlines’ Pittsburgh hub while retaining a northeastern point-to-point network. That partnership ended June 1, 1982, and Ransome resumed service under its own name. A 1984 agreement with Delta Air Lines brought the Delta Connection identity. Pan American World Airways acquired the airline in June 1987, renamed it Pan Am Express, and expanded service to include Berlin Tegel, New York, Miami and Los Angeles. After Pan American’s collapse, Trans World Airlines bought the company on December 4, 1991, and renamed it Trans World Express. Its European and Miami networks were discontinued, and JFK became its sole hub. The airline ended operations on November 6, 1995, citing lack of profitability. Trans States Airlines took over its JFK routes, while most of its 11 ATR 42 aircraft went to Mahalo Air.
