GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Carry a piece of Texas aviation history inspired by the airline that grew from Aviation Enterprises into Trans-Texas Airways and, in 1969, Texas International. Its journey began with Starliner service from Houston and expanded to Memphis, New Orleans, and destinations in Mexico. The story also recalls the DC-9 Pamper-jets and the memorable Peanut Fares. A fitting everyday companion for airline-history enthusiasts, travelers, and collectors drawn to the changing names and routes of a regional carrier.
Texas International Airlines began as Aviation Enterprises in 1940 and became Trans-Texas Airways (TTA) in 1947. Headquartered near William P. Hobby Airport in Houston, it started as a Texas carrier, operating Douglas DC-3s called “Starliners.” Its network expanded beyond the state: Memphis was added in 1953, New Orleans and Jackson in 1959, and service to Mexico in 1967. The airline introduced Convair 600 turboprops and, in 1966, Douglas DC-9 jets marketed as “Pamper-jets.” In April 1969, TTA adopted the Texas International Airlines name. The renamed carrier expanded its routes and standardized on DC-9s and Convair 600s before becoming an all-jet airline in 1979. Acquired by Jet Capital Corporation in 1972, it introduced discounted “Peanut Fares” and, in 1979, a frequent-flyer program called Payola Passes. In 1980, Texas Air Corporation became its holding company. Texas Air acquired Continental Airlines, and Texas International merged into Continental on October 31, 1982. Continental later merged with United Airlines in 2010, making United the stated successor. The airline’s history connects regional Texas service with a growing domestic and Mexican route network and the corporate changes that reshaped the carrier.
