Cargo arm of Hawaiian Airlines
– [Zantop International Airlines traces its origins to 1946 when brothers Duane, Lloyd, Howard and Elroy Zantop set up Zantop Flying Service. In 1952 it was granted a license for commercial flying. In 1962 Zantop took over Coastal Airlines and, through the purchase, acquired a license to carry passengers as well as freight. The name was changed to Zantop Air Transport and the company operated as a freight airline for the auto industry. In 1967 the Zantop family sold the airline and it became Universal Airlines. Universal Airlines went bankrupt in May1972 and its assets were received by Saturn Airways. The Zantop family restarted operations as Zantop International Airlines, based at Willow Run Airport near Detroit, Michigan. Zantop International Airlines was incorporated in May1972. In 1978 Zantop also purchased the freight division of Hawaiian Airlines. The airline lost business momentum in the early 200s & its operating certificate and FAR 121 Air Carrier Certificate, once deemed highly valuable, was given back to the FAA in the beginning years of the new millennium, as was the FAR 125 Certificate. It was then that Zantop International Airlines ceased operations]
