Airplane Airline Pillows
Description: Based in Fiumicino, Italy, Alitalia was an Italian airline which was once the flag carrier and Italy's largest airline. The airline was owned by the Government of Italy from its founding in 1946 until it was privatized in 2009; after struggling with profitability while a private company, including failed negotiations to sell to other private parties, the Italian government took ownership of the airline in March 2020. The airline operated its large fleet of modern aircraft from its main hub at Rome–Fiumicino International Airport to 34 scheduled domestic, European and intercontinental destinations, and maintained codeshare agreements with 42 airlines. The airline announced that it would cease operations in October 2021.
Description: To commemorate the 40th anniversary of Concord's first commercial flights on January 21st 1976, I have created a set of illustrations depicting Concord from the first flight in 1969 through to the final flight in 2003. This image set against a classic white background is of 5 variants of my drawings for this series showing a pre-production Concorde of 1969 through to the last livery of 2003.
Description: North Central Airlines was a regional airline in the midwestern United States. Founded as Wisconsin Central Airlines in 1944 in Clintonville, Wisconsin, the company moved to Madison in 1947. This is also when the "Herman the duck" logo was born on Wisconsin Central's first Lockheed Electra 10A, NC14262, in 1948. North Central's headquarters were moved to Minneapolis–St. Paul in 1952.

The illustrations are in order of entry to service, Airbus SAS, Qatar Airways, Vietnam Airlines, Finnair, TAM, Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Ethiopian Airlines, Thai Airways, China Airlines and Lufthansa. I have thoroughly researched the artworks and only when I have enough reference material do I create them digitally.
Description: Northwest Airlines was founded in 1926 as Northwest Airways, a reference to the historical name of the Northwest Territory. Like other early airlines, Northwest's focus was not on moving passengers, but in flying mail for the Post Office. Northwest began carrying passengers in 1927, and in 1947, Northwest was the first airline to begin direct service between the United States and Japan. By the '60s, Northwest had regular service to Hong Kong, Manila, Okinawa, Osaka, Taipei, Tokyo, Seoul, making them the world's leading transpacific airline serving the Asian region, formerly known as 'The Orient.' Northwest began marketing themselves as Northwest Orient Airlines in 1969, which included a total rebrand and a fleet refresh with 747 jumbo jets.
