Pacific Western-Transair Merger Map, 1978
A stylised Pacific Western and Transair merger map from the former’s 1978 annual report.
While we get that this map is targeted at showing shareholders Pacific Western’s expanded reach after acquiring Transair — and not what cities it actually serves and from where — it still would have been nice to have some labels. Maybe just bases?
But this map does what it needs to do: show Pacific Western’s growth through its acquisition of Transair. The integration was completed in 1979.

Independence Air Washington Dulles diagram, 2005
An Independence Air diagram of Washington Dulles International Airport from November 2005.
Independence, neé Atlantic Coast Airlines, briefly operated a hub from Dulles’ Concourses A and B in 2004 and 2005. This is one of the few diagrams of those facilities, which since have been home to a collection of international carriers, except for the ground-level A gates that continue to serve United Airlines’ hub at Dulles.
We like this map, we wish there was an overview of the airport so travelers could get a sense of where they are in the airport ..read more

Syrian Air map, 1984
A Syrian Air diagrammatic international lines map from 1984.
We do love a diagrammatic map. Not to say this is a perfect example, but it quite good. There are no random angles, everything is 90 degrees, and, given the size of Syrian’s network, it’s actually quite legible.

Northwest Orient routes, 1976
The Northwest Orient Airlines route map in September 1976.
Northwest clearly did not make all clean, easy-ish to read maps in the 1970s. This landscape map does what intends, shows the landscape, but as a route map it isn’t that useful. The routes are difficult to follow, and the carrier’s prize Asia network is minimized to an inset in the lower left hand corner.

JetBlue Proposed Spirit Merger map, 2022
JetBlue Airways’ proposed merger with Spirit Airlines map in 2022.
A bidding war is on for Spirit with JetBlue countering the Frontier Airlines deal with its own $3.6 billion offer. This proposed merger map, while we would have loved to see routes, highlights the combined JetBlue-Spirit’s size (ie, departures) in markets across the U.S. That will be the focus of U.S. regulators as the scrutinize the proposed transaction ..read more
