About Universal Airlines

Universal Airlines was a United States supplemental air carrier that operated from 1966 to 1972, based initially at Willow Run Airport in Ypsilanti, Michigan and later at Oakland International Airport in California. Universal was a re-naming of Zantop Air Transport. At the time, supplemental air carrier was the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) term for charter airline, the CAB being the Federal agency that tightly regulated US carriers in that era. Universal was one of the largest such carriers, but only briefly profitable and did not survive 1972 bankruptcy.
