Air California
Air California, later renamed AirCal, began as an intrastate airline operating solely within California. Following the federal Airline Deregulation Act in 1978, it expanded to several destinations in neighboring states, and in the 1980s was flying to Chicago (ORD), Seattle (SEA), Anchorage (ANC), and Vancouver, B.C. (YVR) in addition to its California routes as well as service to other destinations in the western U.S. It was founded by a partnership of Orange County businessmen and its initial route when scheduled passenger operations were commenced in January 1967 was between Orange County Airport (SNA) and San Francisco International Airport (SFO), a previously unserved route, using Lockheed L-188 Electra turboprops. Air California was headquartered in Newport Beach, California.〔"(Newport Beach city, California )." ''U.S. Census Bureau''. Retrieved on May 25, 2009.〕〔"World Airline Directory." ''Flight International''. March 30, 1985.(34 )." Retrieved on June 17, 2009.〕 The airline's "home" airport was Orange County Airport, now known as John Wayne Airport.
==History==
In April 1967, Air California was operating 48 nonstop Lockheed L-188 Electra propjet flights a week from Orange County (SNA) to San Francisco (SFO); the fare was $14.85 plus 5% tax. It added Orange County (SNA) - San Jose (SJC) - Oakland (OAK) flights around the beginning of 1968; in May SNA to SFO had 92 flights a week, mostly Douglas DC-9-10 twin jets, and 50 flights a week from SNA to SJC (most continuing to OAK). By January of 1969, Boeing 737s had taken over all flights with the Electras and DC-9s being removed from the fleet. By 1976, the airline was operating nonstop intrastate jet service between Orange County and San Francisco, San Jose, Oakland, Sacramento, San Diego and Palm Springs; between San Diego and Oakland and San Jose; between Ontario and Oakland and San Jose; and between Palm Springs and San Francisco, San Jose and Oakland.〔http://www.departedflights.com, Jan. 1, 1976 Air California system timetable route map〕
In the late 1970s, Air California's fleet was composed mainly of Boeing 737-200 jetliners; two Boeing 737-100s were added in 1977-78. It also flew two Douglas DC-9-10s in 1968, which had been leased while Air California was awaiting its new 737s. It resumed flying Electra propjets in order to serve Lake Tahoe Airport in 1975, as this airfield banned airline jets until the 1980s (Pacific Air Lines had operated Boeing 727-100s into Lake Tahoe for a short time in 1966-67). The Electras (some of the last in the U.S. in scheduled passenger service as Pacific Southwest Airlines (PSA) also ceased operating the Electra into Lake Tahoe at this time) were retired again when Lake Tahoe was dropped as destination in 1979 with the airline then becoming an all-jet air carrier for the remainder of its existence. AirCal returned to Lake Tahoe in the early 1980s commencing jet service with McDonnell Douglas MD-80s and later with Boeing 737-300s. In early 1985, the airline was operating nonstop MD-80 jet service between Lake Tahoe and Los Angeles (LAX), San Francisco (SFO) and San Jose (SJC).〔http://www.departedflights.com, Feb. 15, 1985 Official Airline Guide (OAG), Lake Tahoe schedules〕
