{"product_id":"republic-airlines-ceramic-coffee-mug","title":"Republic Airlines Ceramic Coffee Mug","description":"GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStart the day with a reminder of Republic Airlines and the people who carried its story across the country. Launched in 1979 after North Central Airlines and Southern Airways merged, Republic grew through the acquisition of Hughes Airwest in 1980 and developed major hubs in Minneapolis, Detroit, and Memphis. Its network, aircraft, and Republic Express feeder service remain points of interest for aviation fans. This mug suits a work desk, kitchen shelf, or collection honoring the changing history of American air travel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRepublic Airlines began operations on July 1, 1979, when North Central Airlines and Southern Airways merged in the first airline merger following the federal Airline Deregulation Act. Headquartered at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport in Minnesota, Republic operated hubs there, at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, and at Memphis International Airport. In 1980, it acquired Hughes Airwest, adding hubs at Phoenix Sky Harbor and Las Vegas McCarran and briefly becoming the U.S. airline serving the greatest number of airports. Its fleet included McDonnell Douglas DC-9s, Boeing 727-200s and 757-200s, MD-80s, and Convair 580 turboprops. Financial losses and service reductions challenged the airline in the early 1980s. In 1985, Republic Express feeder flights connected smaller cities with its Detroit, Memphis, and Minneapolis hubs. Northwest Orient Airlines announced its purchase of Republic on January 23, 1986; the $884 million merger was completed October 1. Northwest dropped Orient from its name and incorporated Republic’s hubs into its domestic network. Northwest later merged with Delta Air Lines, with Delta becoming the surviving carrier in January 2010. The former Republic headquarters is now Delta Air Lines Building C.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 500; font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e11oz\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 500; font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e15oz\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eHeight, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e3.74\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e4.61\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eDiameter, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e3.15\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e3.43\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduct features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Microwave-safe for quick reheats\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Available in 11oz and 15oz sizes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Glossy white ceramic with vibrant, long-lasting print\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Lead- and BPA-free, comfortable C-handle\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Clean in dishwasher or wash by hand with warm water and dish soap\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Printify","offers":[{"title":"11oz","offer_id":54665846751516,"sku":"22637752025417426890","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15oz","offer_id":54665846784284,"sku":"29487000282215998992","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/2517\/5580\/files\/15048857319628321999_2048.jpg?v=1791313752","url":"https:\/\/ghostcorpapparel.com\/products\/republic-airlines-ceramic-coffee-mug","provider":"Ghost Corp Apparel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
