Keep a compact reminder of Western Airlines’ short-lived service close at hand with this double-sided keychain charm. The Bellingham startup launched scheduled-charter flights on January 18, 2007, beginning with a trip to Ontario, California, and serving a small network that also included San Diego and Mesa, Arizona. Supplier debts brought operations to a halt on February 7, just weeks after they began. It’s a conversation-starting keepsake for airline-history collectors, regional aviation fans, and travelers who appreciate the stories behind brief routes.
Western Airlines was a short-lived American low-cost airline headquartered in Bellingham, Washington. It grew from a local effort to bring more passenger service to Bellingham International Airport: in 2004, Port of Bellingham officials set a goal of adding destinations beyond Seattle, and in late 2005 the Port announced a lease with the startup, founded by two local businessmen with aviation experience. On November 16, 2006, the airline announced planned January service from Bellingham to four vacation destinations; Reno, Nevada, was later cancelled before flights began. Operations started on January 18, 2007, with a flight to Ontario, California. Western operated as a scheduled charter using aircraft wet leased from Xtra Airways while pursuing FAA approval as a commercial airline. Its network included Bellingham, Ontario, San Diego, and Mesa/Phoenix, Arizona. On February 7, 2007, Western suspended operations because of debts to suppliers, including Xtra Airways and its Bellingham fuel vendor. Xtra Airways continued flying to return Western passengers to their originating airport. The source does not identify a successor or a merger; Western's planned service did not resume.
