In the late 1970s, the U.S. government disrupted the airline industry, removing federal control over tariffs, airlines, and the entry of new airlines into the market.

As a result, a host of new airlines appeared from the 1980s onwards, and some of them were particularly unusual.

Pet Airways

Founded in 2009 in Delray Beach, Florida, Pet Airways was an airline dedicated exclusively to pets such as cats and dogs.

They flew, without their owners, to the main cockpit of specially adapted aircraft in which the seats had been replaced with conveyors.

Each aircraft could carry about 50 pets, with Pet Attendants checking them every 15 minutes.

The idea was that concerned pet owners would prefer to fly their pets through a dedicated airline instead of keeping them on board their flight, a practice that the Pet Airways website described as “ dangerous ”, mentioning the extreme temperature. variations and lack of proper lighting. The airline operated for about two years.

Hooters Air

In 2002, Robert Brooks, chairman of the Hooters restaurant chain, bought Pace Airlines, a charter carrier with a fleet of eight aircraft, mainly the Boeing 737. The following year he turned it into Hooters Air, an airline created after the network of restaurants.

Dallimi i tij ishte, përveç modelit të ngjyrës portokalli të ndezur,  dy të ashtuquajturat “vajza Hooters” ishin në bord, duke u përzier me pasagjerët dhe duke pritur lojëra të veshura me të njëjtin tank-top- dhe pantallona të shkurtra “uniforme” portokalli të popullarizuara nga restorantet.

Linja ajrore ishte e bazuar në Myrtle Beach, Karolina e Jugut, një pikë e nxehtë pushimesh e njohur për fushat e saj të golfit dhe vendpushimet bregdetare.

Megjithatë, ajo kurrë nuk ishte mjaft e suksesshme për të fituar para dhe ndaloi së funksionuari në fillim të vitit 2006, për shkak të rritjes së çmimeve të karburantit pas uraganeve Katrina dhe Rita.

The Lord’s Airline

Alkooli rreptësisht i ndaluar në bord, Bibla dhe Torah në vend të revistave gjatë fluturimit, vetëm filma fetarë  dhe një e katërta e tarifave kushtuar financimit të punës misionare: këto ishin tiparet unike të The Lord’s Airline, e themeluar nga biznesmeni Ari Marshall nga New Jersey. Ari Marshall në vitin 1985, kur bleu një DC-8 të vjetër që ishte menduar të ishte avioni i vetëm i linjës ajrore.

Plani ishte që të kishte tre fluturime javore nga Miami në aeroportin Ben Gurion në Izrael, duke ofruar një rrugë direkte për në Jerusalem, rreth 30 milje larg.

At that time, religious pilgrims seeking to reach the Holy Land had to catch a connecting flight to New York. "The Russians have their own airline. The British have one. So is Playboy. So why shouldn't God have an airline of his own? ” Marshall said in 1986, according to the Associated Press.

However, by 1987, the airline had failed to qualify for an FAA license due to unfinished modifications and aircraft maintenance work. Investors got nervous and removed Ari Marshall, installing a new board of directors to move things forward.
