9 iconic airlines which once criss-crossed US skies travelers will never see again

While only a handful of airlines operate in the US today, the skies used to feature a lot of diversity.

It wasn't always just the big three, however, as the US has a long history of airlines, both iconic and infamous, serving the skies. From the early days of aviation to the turn of the century, the airlines of America were known the world over, but even its most iconic couldn't survive past the early days of the new millennium.

Take a look at some of the airlines that once graced American skies but, for one reason or another, are no longer flying. Like many of the airlines of the time, Northwest Airlines started in 1926 as a mail carrier under the name Northwest Airways, according to the. Although its name would suggest otherwise, its base of operations focused largely around the Midwest, with cities such as Minneapolis and Detroit its main hubs.

The airline was involved in a notable crash when one of its Boeing 737 aircraft departed from Washington, D.C. in icy conditions, crashed on the city's 14th Street Bridge, and landed in the Potomac River. Two years later, in 1984, the airline went under and the Air Florida name vanished from the sky. A child of deregulation, People Express began its life in Newark, New Jersey in 1981 as a low-cost airline, according to the.

The airline would join forces with legacy carrier American Airlines in 2015, which had been under bankruptcy protection, to form the world's largest airline at the time. Though both featuring a patriotic name, American Airlines were determined to have the most recognizable brand and the two moved forward under the American Airlines banner.

Airline deregulation would see the airline struggle but ultimately bounce back better than ever. Continental grew as a result of numerous mergers and airline acquisitions, expanding into Central America from Houston. With little desire for European service, the airline largely stayed in the Western Hemisphere. One of the airline's main achievements was the Northeast Shuttle system, ferrying passengers on hourly flights between New York, Washington, and Boston, a legacy carried on by airlines today.
