How this micro airline has made it to its 75th anniversary
CNN
Seattle is known for its seaplanes, which go between the city and the surrounding islands. Kenmore Air is one of the best seaplane companies operating in Seattle. The family-owned company was founded 75 years ago.
(CNN) — Think of Seattle, and what springs to mind? The Space Needle, for sure. Pike Place Market, almost certainly. For many, there's another classic sight in the Emerald City: the tiny seaplanes darting up and down, making a runway out of the water that surrounds the city. Many of those planes -- the ones with a slick of bright mustard yellow along the side -- belong to Kenmore Air, a local airline. And if you think they look familiar, that's because they've been a temporary part of the city skyline for 75 years. A 75th anniversary is a major achievement for any airline, of course -- especially after a year in which even major airlines have gone out of business thanks to the pandemic.More Related News
