Some History
New York Air was a 1980s startup airline owned by Texas Air Corporation and based at LaGuardia Airport in New York City. The first flight by the company was on 19 December 1980, between New York and Boston. It initially expanded rapidly, focusing on Northeast Corridor markets and service to upstate New York and Ohio, but mounting losses created a commercial crisis in early 1982. A new chief executive, Michael E. Levine, was brought in and restructured the airline, first shrinking it then doubling it in size between 1982 and 1984 by which time it was solidly profitable. Levine left the company in the spring of 1984.

By the end of 1985, The airline flew to thirteen U.S. states with flights to Boston, Savannah, Cleveland, Detroit, Fort Lauderdale, Greenville, Hartford, Jacksonville, Knoxville, Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, New Orleans, five New York airports (Newark, La Guardia, JFK, Long Island and White Plains), Orlando, Philadelphia, Raleigh, Rochester, Tampa, Washington, D.C. and West Palm Beach.

The airline employed over 2000 people before it was acquired by Continental Airlines in 1986.

They operated 34 aircraft painted in a red colour scheme with an apple on the aircraft tail, evoking New York's nickname "The Big Apple."

It was well known for its onboard bagged snacks, known as the "The Flying Nosh."
