The airline's first route was from New York to Los Angeles, followed by multiple National routes. The airline expanded to serve Europe, the Middle East, and Asia after WWII, while under Howard Hughes's ownership from 1939 until 1961. Hughes was a dominant force in expanding and promoting his company's routes. The economy was improving rapidly, and air travel for business and pleasure increased, too. Posters were a crucial element in promoting this form of travel and TWA. The airline began a decline in the 1970s that culminated in a third bankruptcy, leading to its acquisition by American Airlines in 2001. The airline operated to 132 destinations worldwide and had a fleet of 190 aircraft. |
