Add an aviation-history touch to relaxed gatherings with this WinAir Airlines can cooler. The carrier was established in 1997 and made its first flight as a Super Bowl charter on January 25, 1998. By November, it was offering public scheduled charter flights from Long Beach, connecting travelers with Las Vegas, Oakland, Sacramento, and Salt Lake City. WinAir closed in July 1999 after financial difficulties and aircraft maintenance concerns. Its brief service gives airline enthusiasts a distinctive piece of late-1990s history to share.
WinAir Airlines was a short-lived U.S. charter passenger airline founded by Richard I. Winwood and established in 1997, with its base in Salt Lake City, Utah. Its first flight was a Super Bowl charter on January 25, 1998. Experienced personnel, including staff from Morris Air, Key Airlines, and Champion Air, helped the airline gain certification rapidly. In November 1998, WinAir began public scheduled charter flights from its hub at Long Beach Municipal Airport in California, serving Las Vegas, Oakland, Sacramento, and Salt Lake City. It sought FAA authority to operate as a scheduled passenger airline, but did not receive that authorization before closing. Financial difficulties and maintenance concerns involving leased Boeing 737-400 aircraft contributed to the shutdown on July 6, 1999. The airline had operated 10 aircraft: five Boeing 737-200s, two 737-300s, and three 737-400s. Planned service to Seattle was canceled before launch after WinAir could not finalize a passenger-guarantee contract with Boeing amid competition from other carriers. WinAir also appeared in the film For Love of the Game, released in September 1999, after the airline had ceased operations.
