People Express Airlines commenced operations #onthisday in 1981. A low-cost airline, People Express advertised "we eliminate the things you don't want: like ticket counters and airline food. And we give you the things you want: like frequent flights with extra room for carry-on bags.” Their rapid expansion to new destinations and acquisitions of airlines in the mid 1980 led to financial distress, and the airline was acquired by Continental Airlines in 1987.
