A scarce airlines collectible from a unique Chicagoland airline Midway Airlines was a United States airline based in Chicago, Illinois. It was incorporated on October 13, 1976, by Kenneth T. Carlson, Irving T. Tague and William B. Owens, filing with the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) for an airline operating certificate. Although it received its operating certificate from the CAB prior to the passage of the Airline Deregulation Act in 1978, it was viewed as the first post-deregulation start-up. The airline commenced operations on November 1, 1979 Unfortunately, the carrier perished soon after attempting to grow substantially by purchasing the Philadelphia hub of bankrupt Eastern Air Lines. This led directly to Midway’s March 1991 Chapter 11 filing. A deal was struck to sell the company, still operating in bankruptcy, to Northwest Airlines, which backed out at the last minute, leaving Midway dead in November 1991. A group of investors, including Carlson, bought the airline's name (for $20,000) and started another Midway Airlines, which flew from 1993 to 2003.
