Pacific Western-Transair Merger Map, 1978

Pacific Western-Transair Merger Map, 1978

A stylised Pacific Western and Transair merger map from the former’s 1978 annual report.

While we get that this map is targeted at showing shareholders Pacific Western’s expanded reach after acquiring Transair — and not what cities it actually serves and from where — it still would have been nice to have some labels. Maybe just bases?

But this map does what it needs to do: show Pacific Western’s growth through its acquisition of Transair. The integration was completed in 1979.
