Product Details & Size Guide
Add a small aviation-history touch to your display with this Sun Aire Lines ceramic ornament. The airline began in 1968 as Borrego Springs Airlines, serving Borrego Valley Airport and connecting the community with destinations across Southern California. Renamed Sun Aire in 1975, it later operated commuter Metro II aircraft from its Palm Springs base before its final service in 1985. Its story captures the changing identity of a regional carrier, making this ornament a thoughtful keepsake for airline enthusiasts and collectors of local aviation history.
Sun Aire Lines was a United States commuter airline that operated from 1968 to 1985. Founded in 1968 as Borrego Springs Airlines, it initially provided service to Borrego Springs, California, through Borrego Valley Airport, connecting the community with destinations in southern California, including San Diego and Palm Springs. The airline later moved its headquarters to Palm Springs. Its early fleet included Cessna 402 twin-engine propeller aircraft and Swearingen Metro II turboprops. In 1975, Borrego Springs Airlines changed its name to Sun Aire. Its primary destinations included Palm Springs, San Diego, Los Angeles, Borrego Springs, Phoenix, Yuma, Santa Barbara and Santa Maria. By 1984, it operated a dozen Metro II aircraft and was purchased by SkyWest Airlines. At the time of acquisition, Sun Aire operated 19-passenger Fairchild Swearingen Metroliner Metro II commuter turboprops. Sun Aire flew its final service on September 28, 1985, and was then merged into SkyWest.
