UP NEXT IN THE MAGAZINE!
World Airways was founded in 1948 and has unveiled a new livery. They are headquartered in Peachtree, Georgia.

My next magazine interview for Airways magazine will appear in the April issue (we work a bit ahead of time) with Global Aero Logistics CEO Subodh Karnik as my Guest. We will hit the news stands and bookstores March 4th (USA) and March 11th (UK and International). GAL has acquired three airlines: World Airways, North American Airlines, and ATA. This is an interesting look behind the scenes of a Freight and Charter carrier with two additional Charter and Scheduled Passenger airlines. Subodh is one of the most fascinating airline CEO's I have covered. And even if you do not follow this dynamic business, his energy is most invigorating and his outlook is filled with opportunities ahead. This should also give each of you a much-needed break from televised reports about Britney Spears for one day!
Founded in 1989 and based in New York City at JFK International Airport, North American operates scheduled services from the USA to Africa and Guyana as well as domestic & international charter services.
Founded in 1973 as American Trans Air (now ATA) and based in Indianapolis, Indiana, ATA is a low-cost/low fare carrier that provides passenger charters and scheduled services throughout the U.S. mainland and Hawaii. They have a code share with Southwest Airlines.

Cool Michael.
I look forward to reading it.

I loved having ATA here--non stops on big planes to NYC, San Fran and Florida. But, when they left, a lot of people lost their jobs. I think they are still doing the military charter thing.
Glenn: Thanks for those kind words. When I get closer and it's out I'll of course post (immodestly)! :D
Teresa: Yes, they went from 69 to 29 aircraft and along with World, they are the country's designated Military Air Transport. The West Coast beckoned because ATA's new mission with flights to Hawaii made more sense to launch from there. I owe you a visit!
I look forward to reading that. I have that other edition from you on my bookshelf, btw ;)
Happy Superbowl!! Daisy says "Woof!"
Carolyn & Daisy: The April Issue contains THE most beautiful photo and article layout I've ever had featured in 13 years! Wasn't Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers cool?
Looking forward to it.
Knitti-Me: I proofed the layout and was very happy with it. :)
