Air 21 out of business

At the beginning of 1997, the small US domestic airline Air 21 ceased its activities. Air 21 was active from December 1995 with a network of scheduled air services linking its base in Fresno, CA, with Denver, Las Vegas, San Francisco and Los Angeles using a fleet of three Fokker F28 4000s leased from US Air.
