Trump Airlines

In 1989, Donald Trump acquired the Eastern Air Lines Shuttle, rebranding it as Trump Shuttle. The airline offered hourly flights between New York City, Boston, and Washington, D.C., targeting business travelers with promises of luxury and convenience. Despite efforts to create a premium service, Trump Shuttle faced financial difficulties due to high operational costs and a competitive market. In 1992, the airline was sold to USAir Group, marking the end of Trump’s venture into the aviation industry.
