It was initially produced as the Douglas DC9 prior to August 1967, after which point the company had merged with McDonnell Aircraft to become McDonnell Douglas. Following the introduction of its first jetliner, the high capacity DC8, in 1959, Douglas was interested in producing an aircraft suited to smaller routes. As early as 1958, design studies were conducted; approval for the DC9, a smaller allnew jetliner, came on April 8, 1963. The DC910 first flew on February 25, 1965, and gained its type certificate on November 23, to enter service with Delta Air Lines on December 8.Midway Airlines was a United States airline based in Chicago, Illinois. It was founded on August 6, 1976, by investor Kenneth T. Carlson and joined by Irving T. Tague and William B. Owens on October 13, 1976, filing with the Civil Aeronautics Board (CA) 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 is widely recognized as the first postderegulation startup. The airline commenced operations on October 31, 1979.The airline was intended to breathe new life into Midway International Airport, then called Chicago Midway Airport, which had lost most of its scheduled flights to OHare International Airport. The airline took its name from this airport. Midway Airlines and the revitalized airport were advertised as a troublefree alternative to OHare, and both of these spurred redevelopment and growth on Chicagos South Side. The airport was billed as a convenient ten to fifteenminute drive from downtown Chicago.The airline went bankrupt in 1991 and was dissolved in 1992. A group of investors bought the airlines name and started a new separate company called Midway Airlines, which flew from 1993 to 2003.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Geminijets","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45456155541619,"sku":"WBACSB0C55VTGSP","price":121.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0643\/1958\/6419\/files\/G2MID1190.jpg?v=1788766750","url":"https:\/\/slickpurchase.com\/products\/mcdonnell-douglas-dc915-commercial-aircraft-midway-airlines-white-with-red-tail-gemini-200-series-1-200-diecast-model-airp","provider":"Slickpurchase","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
