Remember Western Airlines, the Bellingham startup that turned a local push for more air service into a brief network of scheduled-charter flights. Operations began on January 18, 2007, with a flight to Ontario, California, and also reached San Diego and Mesa, Arizona. On February 7, supplier debts brought the carrier’s service to a halt. This hoodie or sweatshirt celebrates a compact, remarkable story in regional aviation, making it a fitting choice for airline collectors, travel-history fans, and anyone fascinated by short-lived companies.
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.
