Return to the Table of Contents
Republic Airlines was a publicly-held, Minneapolis-based carrier
providing air transportation to the traveling and shipping public. The company
was originally known as Wisconsin Central Airlines, and it inaugurated service
on February 24, 1948. Its name was changed to North Central Air Lines in 1952.
Southern Airways, which began scheduled flights in 1949, was merged into the
company in 1979, at which time the name of the company was changed to Republic
Airlines. Hughes Airwest was acquired October 1, 1980. In the mid-1980s
Republic served more than 100 cities in 34 states, with an 85,000-mile route
system extending from coast to coast, and from Canada to the Cayman Islands. It
had major connecting complexes at Detroit, Memphis, and the Twin Cities, and
had 13,400 employees. The airline carried 15.3 million passengers in 1984.
Republic was acquired by Northwest Airlines in August 1986.
The above information was taken from Corporate
Report Fact Book, 1986 and 1987.

Newspaper Clippings, 1979-1984. 15 microfilm reels.
|
| | | This microfilm reproduces loose newspaper (and some magazine)
clippings documenting Republic Airlines activities at the local, regional, and
national levels. The clippings are arranged chronologically by year and month.
They are not in order by day within each month, and some are not correctly
filed by month. Most of the clippings were collected for the airlines by
clipping services. A "citation" slip attached to most of these articles gives
the title, place of publication, and date of the newspaper (or magazine) in
which the article appeared. Beginning in 1982 there are many newspaper pages
containing articles pertaining to the airlines that were not clipped. Some of
these articles are marked; those that are not usually can be identified by
their headlines. |

Clippings Scrapbooks:The newspaper (and magazine) clippings document the air
carrier's activities at the local and regional levels. The clippings are
arranged in series according to format, i.e., clippings scrapbooks and/or loose
clippings and, most often, in roughly chronological order by year and month
within each series. Most of the clippings were selected by clipping services. A
"citation" slip attached to most of them gives the title, place of publication,
and date of the newspaper (or magazine) in which the article appeared.
