Notable history
Founded in 1982 by former Braniff employees. Restructured under Apollo Global Management's ownership starting 2018 into a hybrid carrier — scheduled passenger, charter (sports teams, the US military), and cargo operations for Amazon Air under a 12-year contract signed in 2019. IPO'd in March 2021.
About this profile
Reference data (codes, headquarters, founding year, alliance, ownership) is curated from each carrier's own published materials, the US DOT BTS Form 41 filings, and SEC filings for publicly-listed carriers. Fleet rosters reflect the active in-service fleet at the time of the most recent data refresh; aircraft on order are not counted toward fleet totals. Average fleet age is calculated from the same active fleet.
Hubs and focus cities are sourced from the carrier's own destinations or about pages. Loyalty program partner lists are drawn from each program's published partner roster.
This profile is re-verified on a recurring monthly cadence aligned to the US DOT BTS Form 41 release schedule.
