Description

North Carolina-based Piedmont Airlines was known as the “Up and Coming Airline” for its growth from a small regional carrier to one of the United States’ Majors (revenue greater than $1 billion) in a few short years following deregulation. An early customer for the 737, the airline would go on to become the world’s largest 737 operator by the late 1980s, prior to its buyout by and merger with USAir. This decal provides the markings for the final full Piedmont color scheme, introduced in 1974, as worn by the 737-200 fleet, which eventually include 63 of the type.
