Historical Media Archive
This archive preserves selected media coverage from Air Gumbo’s history. Because many items were published years ago on external news websites, some original links may have changed, moved behind archive access, or become unavailable as publishers updated their systems. Publication names, dates, and article references are retained as part of Air Gumbo’s historical record.
Air Gumbo believes the media perceived its uniqueness when several national and international trusted media sources saw the company as newsworthy during April and May of 2003, and again when Travel Weekly mentioned Air Gumbo in their July 5, 2006 publication and the Kiplinger Letter mentioned Air Gumbo in its July 14, 2006 report. However, the best is yet to come as the world's first one-frill, low cost and low fare airline unfolds itself. The following news clippings are examples of exposure Air Gumbo received and press releases issued by Air Gumbo.
