Trans World Airlines (TWA) Heavy Knit Quarter-Zip Sweatshirt
Layer up with a Trans World Airlines heavy knit quarter-zip sweatshirt rooted in the long arc of American air travel. TWA began serving the transcontinental market in 1930, later reached Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, and helped define the jet age through its 707 and 747 service. The quarter-zip silhouette is a natural fit for airport mornings, travel days, aviation events, and everyday wear, while honoring the carrier remembered from JFK's Flight Center to its St. Louis hub.
Trans World Airlines, or TWA, operated as a United States scheduled trunk carrier from 1930 until its acquisition by American Airlines in 2001. Its history began with the October 1, 1930 merger of Transcontinental Air Transport, Western Air Express, Maddux Air Lines, Standard, and Pittsburgh Aviation Industries Corporation into Transcontinental & Western Air. The original route linked New York City and Los Angeles through St. Louis, Kansas City, and other stops. Renamed Trans World Airlines in 1950, the carrier expanded after World War II to Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. Howard Hughes gained control by 1944 and later relinquished it in 1960. TWA opened the Eero Saarinen-designed Flight Center at JFK Airport in 1962, developed its largest hub at St. Louis Lambert International Airport, and acquired Ozark Air Lines in 1986. After financial restructurings, American Airlines acquired TWA in January 2001. TWA continued as an LLC until July 1, 2003.
