Is it a bird? Is it a plane? IT’S HOOTERS AIR, the short-lived airline brought to you by the company that coined the term “breastaurant.” Operating from 2003-2006, Hooters Air sought to capitalize on a struggling post-9/11 airline industry, but were grounded by the oil price surges due to hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Join Claire and Brendan as they tell the story of Hooters Air and discuss how the defunct airline could’ve kept its wings. You don’t want to miss this one, it’s a hoot.
