Set out with a connection to California airline history through this Wings West Airlines passport cover. The carrier began commuter service in 1979, linking destinations such as Santa Monica and Mammoth Lakes before broadening its network across California and into other states. Later flying as an American Eagle affiliate, Wings West helped connect regional communities with major hubs. It is a fitting travel keepsake for airline collectors and for anyone fascinated by the development of regional air service.
Founded by Mark Morro and William Hirsch, Wings West began scheduled commuter service in 1979, flying Cessna 402 twin-prop aircraft between California destinations. Its first flight, on November 11, 1979, ran from Santa Monica to Mammoth Lakes. The airline expanded its California network and added service to Arizona, operating aircraft including Beechcraft C99s and Fairchild Swearingen Metroliners. It became publicly traded in 1983. In 1986, Wings West began operating under the American Eagle name through a code-sharing agreement with American Airlines; AMR Corp. purchased the airline the following year. Its American Eagle service connected regional communities with hubs including San Jose, Los Angeles and San Francisco, using aircraft such as Convair 580s, Metroliners and Saab 340Bs. The airline was headquartered at McChesney Field in San Luis Obispo County, California. In 1996, Mary B. Jordan was named president. In 1998, Wings West merged with Simmons Airlines and Flagship Airlines into AMR Eagle Holdings Corporation, forming American Eagle Airlines, now known as Envoy Air.
