Bring Republic Airlines history along to work, class, or your next trip with this laptop sleeve. Republic began flying in 1979 after North Central Airlines and Southern Airways joined, then expanded west with its 1980 acquisition of Hughes Airwest. Its Minneapolis, Detroit, and Memphis hubs connected a wide domestic network before the airline became part of Northwest in 1986. This keepsake suits aviation enthusiasts and travelers drawn to the people, routes, and changing identities behind American air travel.
Republic 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.
