Celebrate the brief flight of a Bellingham airline startup with this Western Airlines T-shirt. The company began operations on January 18, 2007, using aircraft leased with crew and support from Xtra Airways while it pursued approval as a commercial airline. Its planned network linked Bellingham with Ontario, San Diego, and Mesa near Phoenix, but operations were suspended just weeks later, on February 7. Made for airline-history enthusiasts, this piece recalls an ambitious local effort to add destinations beyond Seattle and a distinctive moment in early-2000s regional travel.
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.
