About
Seaboard World Airlines was a cargo and passenger airline that operated from the mid-1940s to the early 1980s. Here are some key points about Seaboard World Airlines:
1) Founding and Early Years: Seaboard World Airlines was founded in 1946 as Seaboard & Western Airlines. It was initially established as a cargo airline, operating freight services. Over time, it expanded into the passenger airline market.
2) Cargo Services: Seaboard World Airlines was primarily known for its cargo operations. It provided air freight services and operated various cargo routes, both domestically and internationally. The airline used a variety of aircraft, including the Douglas DC-4, DC-6, DC-8, and Boeing 747, for cargo transport.
3) Passenger Services: In addition to cargo operations, Seaboard World Airlines also operated passenger flights. It initially used surplus military aircraft for these services. Later, it expanded its passenger operations with jet aircraft.
4) Name Changes: The airline went through several name changes during its existence. It started as Seaboard & Western Airlines, then became Seaboard World Airlines, and later was renamed Flying Tiger Line after a merger with Flying Tigers in 1980.
5) Merger with Flying Tigers: In 1980, Seaboard World Airlines merged with Flying Tigers, another cargo airline. The merger created one of the largest air cargo carriers in the world at the time. The combined airline operated under the Flying Tigers name.
6) Legacy: Seaboard World Airlines made significant contributions to the development of air cargo transportation. Its operations helped pave the way for the modern air cargo industry.
7) Ceased Operations: The merged entity, Flying Tigers, continued to operate for a few years but eventually ceased operations in the late 1980s. The airline industry underwent significant changes during this period, and the merged company faced challenges that led to its closure.
8) Impact: Seaboard World Airlines and the subsequent merger with Flying Tigers played a role in the growth of air cargo transportation and contributed to the development of modern cargo and logistics networks. less
