We will soon see a new (or sort of new) airline flying in our skies. Some of you may recall the airline PeoplExpress (or People Express Airlines) from the 1980s. For those of you who don't, the airline was known as a pioneer of low cost carriers in the United States.  PeoplExpress launched in 1981 and grew to be the 5th largest airline in the US, before eventually merging with Continental Airlines in 1987. Several members of the management team from the former PeoplExpress have announced their intention to revive the name with a new airline. However, before take-off, the airline still needs approval from the federal government as well as financing.  

Back in the 1980s, the airline was the first to charge for checked bags, along with snacks.  Their customer service was subpar at the time, landing it the nickname "People's Distress". However many local marketers and travel industry experts feel the old brand is unlikely to carry forward those negative emotions. Spokespeople from the airline have announced they intend to focus on a customer focused environment with seat selection and two checked bags included in the fare.
