1981 - June 15

This is the 2nd or 3rd People Express timetable. Ex protege of Texas International's Frank Lorenzo, Don Burr founded this low cost, unorthodox airline. People's launched with a fleet of Boeing 737-100s (ex-Lufthansa) in 1981 from the old Newark North Terminal. Initial destinations included Boston, Columbus, and Norfollk, with Jacksonville coming on shortly thereafter. The airline was practically an overnight phenomena until over-expansion and lack of a strong computer reservation system, fated it to to a takeover by ironically Frank Lorenzo's Continental.
