West Coast Airlines

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

West Coast Airlines was a U.S. local service airline linking smaller communities in the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Utah and Montana. The company was based at Boeing Field, Seattle and began scheduled passenger service in the late 1940s. On July 1, 1968, West Coast merged with Pacific Air Lines and Bonanza Air Lines to form Air West, later Hughes Airwest.

At the time of the merger, West Coast operated a fleet of McDonnell Douglas DC-9, Fairchild F-27 and Piper aircraft.
