Carry the SkyWest Airlines story into your everyday wardrobe with this hoodie / sweatshirt. What began with the 1972 purchase of Dixie Airlines grew into a regional carrier connecting smaller communities with major airline hubs. SkyWest’s path includes expansion across the West, the Sun Aire Lines acquisition, and decades of service through changing partner brands, from Western Express to Delta Connection, United Express, and American Eagle. This apparel honors the people and routes behind that growth, making it a fitting pick for aviation enthusiasts and collectors of regional airline history.
SkyWest Airlines traces its origins to Dixie Airlines, which St. George, Utah, lawyer Ralph Atkin purchased on April 26, 1972, to connect local business travelers with Salt Lake City. After early challenges, the carrier expanded across the western United States. Its 1984 acquisition of Sun Aire Lines, based in Palm Springs, California, made it the eleventh-largest regional carrier at the time; SkyWest went public in 1986. That year it began flying as Western Express for Western Airlines. Following Western's acquisition by Delta Air Lines in 1987, SkyWest became a Delta Connection carrier. It added United Express service in 1997 and American Eagle service in 2012, while also operating for other partners over the years. SkyWest, Inc. acquired Atlantic Southeast Airlines in 2005 and planned to combine it with ExpressJet in 2010; ExpressJet was later sold, with the sale closing in 2019. In 2024, SkyWest took a 25 percent stake in Contour Airlines and agreed to operate additional Embraer 175 aircraft for United Express. Headquartered in St. George, the company operates regional flights under partner airline brands, linking smaller communities with major airline hubs.
