Honor a regional airline that linked Alaska’s early bush-flying era with the growth of scheduled service. Wien Air Alaska began with Noel Wien’s pioneering flights, later served communities across the state, and became notable for taking 737-200 jets onto gravel runways. The company’s history includes several identities, a 1968 merger, and its final years before operations ceased in 1984. This hoodie or sweatshirt is for aviation fans, Alaska travelers, and collectors who value the stories behind historic airlines.
Wien Air Alaska grew from Noel Wien’s early bush-flying business in Alaska. On July 6, 1924, he flew from Anchorage to Fairbanks, and in 1927 he began regular weekly service between Fairbanks and Nome. Wien Alaska Airways was incorporated in 1928. The company later operated as Wien Airways of Alaska and Wien Alaska Airlines, and expanded its network and services across the state. On April 1, 1968, Wien merged with Northern Consolidated Airlines, formed from several Alaska air services, and the combined airline was named Wien Consolidated Airlines. It became Wien Air Alaska on August 1, 1973. Its operations included propeller aircraft and Boeing 737-200 jets; the airline helped develop the 737-200 Combi for passenger and freight loads and pioneered jet service to gravel runways. By 1984, its routes reached Alaskan communities and cities in the western United States, with bases in Anchorage and Seattle. After financial pressure and a change in ownership, the airline ceased operations on November 23, 1984. Bankruptcy proceedings began five days later, and the company folded in 1985.
