Product Details & Size Guide
Carry a piece of regional aviation history with a phone case inspired by Simmons Airlines. Founded in Michigan in 1978, the carrier grew to link communities with Chicago and Detroit and later flew under Republic Express and American Eagle branding. Its evolution into the predecessor of American Eagle Airlines gives the name a distinctive place in airline history. A fitting everyday pick for collectors and travelers drawn to the story of regional flight.
Simmons Airlines, Inc. began operations in 1978, flying between Marquette and Lansing, Michigan, with a Piper Navajo. Its headquarters were initially near Marquette County Airport in Negaunee Township and later moved to Chicago’s Near North Side. During the 1980s, the airline expanded service linking Michigan communities with Chicago and Detroit, adding Embraer EMB 110 Bandeirantes, Shorts 360s, and YS-11s. On April 28, 1985, it began flying as a Republic Express-branded carrier from Detroit; on October 1, 1985, it began American Eagle-branded service from Chicago. Simmons was acquired by AMR Corp. on August 8, 1988, and soon ended its Northwest Airlink flights. In 1993, it acquired certain assets of Metro Airlines and its holdings. In 1998, Wings West Airlines and Flagship Airlines were merged under Simmons’s IATA designator, MQ. The resulting certificated airline was named American Eagle Airlines, making Simmons the predecessor to that airline.
