There was a time when the huge airlines of today did not dominate the aviation industry. Just so you know, there are more airline companies in the country apart from Delta, American Airlines, and United. In the past, there had been a number of smaller, regional businesses that flew the same skies as well. Sadly, they ended up disappearing after the fuel price increase, the deregulation of the industry, the difficult competition, and the 9/11 tragedy. Take a look at the airline companies that have become obsolete over the years. We bet that you have either forgotten them or did not know that they existed in the first place.
Take A Walk Down Memory Lane By Checking Out American Airlines That No Longer Roam The Skies
Pan American World Airlines
This is one of the most famous airlines that disappeared. In operation from 1927 to 1991, Pan AM enjoyed a longer time in the business than others on the list. According to Yahoo Finance, it once flew the Beatles to New York! The company had huge ambitions and even wanted to send people to the moon at one point. Sadly, it decided to shut down after shuttling people around the world for 64 years. The LA Times reported that the company announced this sad turn of events a day after it was meant to come out of bankruptcy a year after it filed for bankruptcy protection. Needless to say, it at least had a great run.
