Yet Another Dead Airline Brand Is Being Revived

An investment firm, 777 Partners, said Wednesday that it has acquired the rights to fly as World Airways, a carrier that first took flight after World War II but was shuttered in 2014.

“World has a rich and storied history dating back to 1947,” Chief Executive Officer Ed Wegel said in a statement. “It was once the world’s largest independent charter airline, and served the U.S. military and other clients with great distinction.” His investment group says it’s in discussions with Boeing to buy 10 787s.
