TriStar Airlines was an airline based at McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas, Nevada. It launched operations in July 1995 with scheduled flights to Los Angeles and San Francisco and added more destinations later in the year. TriStar utilized British Aerospace 146 aircraft on its routes. In late 1996, the airline began to suffer financial difficulties due to an illegal takeover, deciding to reduce its scheduled operations in favor of the charter industry. Although it settled a lessor dispute in November 1996, TriStar ended all flights not long after in January 1997.

History

TriStar Airlines is named after the owner, Tulsie Issurdutt, TRI representing his initials and TriStar (3 stars) for his three children. TriStar Airlines began operations on July 17, 1995, with flights to Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and the Grand Canyon. It had a marketing agreement with Japan Airlines and was connected to the airline's computer reservations system. Under this arrangement, TriStar Airlines transported Japan Airlines passengers on package tours to Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon. TriStar operated leased British Aerospace 146 (BAe 146) aircraft on all its routes.[2] In November 1995, the airline introduced flights to Reno and Eugene, Oregon;[3] flights to Aspen, Colorado, started the following month.[4]

TriStar Airlines signed a marketing agreement with Eagle Canyon Airlines in June 1996,[5] thereby ending flights to the Grand Canyon.[6] Faced with financial troubles and low passenger numbers, TriStar decided to shift its focus to the more lucrative charter industry in September 1996. It ended flights to Reno and Eugene and reduced operations to Los Angeles and San Francisco.[6]

In October 1996, British Aerospace terminated its lease to TriStar and sued for its aircraft's return, claiming TriStar owned the company US$3 million.[7] As a result, all four of the airline's aircraft were grounded on October 28. TriStar and British Aerospace negotiated for the return of three aircraft, allowing TriStar to resume operations nine days later with a single BAe 146.[8] At this point, TriStar only offered twice weekly Las Vegas–San Francisco flights, with charter operations reserved for the rest of the week.[9]

The airline ended operations in January 1997.[10]

Corporate affairs

TriStar Airlines was headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada,[12] It used the slogan The better choice;[11] and its logo, consisting of three stars for the owner, Tulsie Issurdutt's, three children and a color scheme of red, gray, black, and white, won the Award of Excellence For Logo Design in a 1996 American Corporate Identity competition.[12] Tulsie Issurdutt served as the president, CEO, and CFO. The airline had 160 employees in June 1996.[13]
