{"product_id":"rich-international-airways-passport-cover","title":"Rich International Airways Passport Cover","description":"GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRich International Airways linked its Miami base to a far-reaching charter story, from early cargo service to passenger flights for travelers headed to Europe and Hawaii. Founded by aviation pioneer Jean Rich, the airline later operated L-1011 charters for vacation companies, cruise lines, and other customers. This passport cover honors a memorable chapter in U.S. aviation and suits frequent travelers, airline-history collectors, and anyone with an interest in the many routes and roles of charter carriers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRich International Airways was a Miami, Florida-based charter and cargo airline founded by aviation pioneer Jean Rich. Incorporated in Florida on April 28, 1970, it began flying that year with C-46 and Beech 18 aircraft. In 1977, the Civil Aeronautics Board certified the carrier for cargo service between Florida and Georgia and destinations in Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central America, then authorized domestic cargo flights for the Department of Defense. Its fleet grew to include Douglas DC-6 and DC-8-60 freighters. Passenger charters began in 1982, with flights to Europe and Hawaii, but expansion losses led to Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 1983. After its operating certificate was revoked over maintenance irregularities in 1984, the airline restarted with new key personnel. Miami-based investor George E. Batchelor later invested, and Rich emerged from bankruptcy protection by 1991. Expansion included Lockheed L-1011 TriStar charters for cruise lines, tour operators, vacation companies, and the Department of Defense. Rich ceased operations on September 1, 1996, and announced bankruptcy in February 1997. Its aircraft and inventory were auctioned in July 1997.\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);\"\u003e3.9\" x 5.8\"\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);\"\u003e5.79\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);\"\u003eWidth (Closed), 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);\"\u003e3.94\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"4\" 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);\"\u003eWidth (Open), in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"4\" 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);\"\u003e8.03\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"5\" 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);\"\u003eDepth, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"5\" 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);\"\u003e0.39\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- Two card slots plus pockets for boarding passes or IDs\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Cruelty-free black PU faux leather exterior\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- RFID-blocking lining to protect against skimming\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- One-size fits most passports (3.9″ × 5.8″)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Vibrant front-cover print with potential edge fading on darker solids\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Wipe with a damp cloth, air dry or use a soft, non-abrasive cloth\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Printify","offers":[{"title":"3.9\" x 5.8\" \/ Black","offer_id":54665675899164,"sku":"22248441433126727010","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/2517\/5580\/files\/7974628884337755471_2048.jpg?v=1791308296","url":"https:\/\/ghostcorpapparel.com\/products\/rich-international-airways-passport-cover","provider":"Ghost Corp Apparel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
