Midway Airlines was founded on 13Aug1976, by investor Irving T. Tague but didn’t start operations until 31Oct1979. It was the first major airline to commence operations after the Airline Derugulation Act. Acquired the assets of Air Florida (i) in 1984 and after its initial acquisition, Midway Airlines operated a stand-alone service named “Midway Express”, which flew some of Air Florida’s former tourist routes. In 1987 Midway Airlines purchased commuter air carrier Fischer Brothers Aviation based in Galion, Ohio, and moved the entire operation to Springfield, Illinois, renaming it Midway Connection. Midway attempted to sell itself to Northwest Airlines. Northwest pulled out of negotiations on 12Nov1991,it ceased operations the next day. Its bankruptcy was then re-filed as a liquidation under Chapter 7 bankruptcy laws
