HISTORY ASPECTS:
The Midwest Airlines Boeing 717-200, registration N920ME, was a vital part of the airline’s fleet during the early 2000s, embodying the carrier’s focus on efficient, reliable service primarily in the Midwest United States. Originally designed by McDonnell Douglas as the MD-95 before being renamed the Boeing 717, this aircraft was praised for its excellent performance on short to medium-haul routes. N920ME featured a modern twin-engine design optimized for regional operations, offering a quiet and comfortable cabin experience with seating for around 110 passengers.
Midwest Airlines used N920ME extensively on its network, connecting cities such as Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Chicago, and Kansas City. The aircraft’s size and range made it ideal for serving routes with moderate passenger demand while maintaining high frequency and schedule reliability. Midwest Airlines was well known for its customer service and amenities, including complimentary meals and free checked bags, which helped differentiate it from other regional carriers operating similar aircraft. N920ME contributed significantly to maintaining Midwest’s reputation for convenience and passenger comfort throughout its service life.
Following Midwest’s merger with Frontier Airlines, the Boeing 717s, including N920ME, were gradually phased out as Frontier transitioned to an all-Airbus fleet. Despite its retirement, N920ME remains a memorable example of the Boeing 717’s role in bridging the gap between regional jets and larger narrowbody aircraft. The plane symbolized Midwest Airlines’ commitment to quality regional service and helped set a standard for efficiency and passenger satisfaction on its routes.
This 1:200 scale model captures the sleek design and distinctive livery of this beloved regional jet. With detailed markings and realistic features, it is a must-have for collectors and aviation enthusiasts who appreciate the unique history of Midwest Airlines and the Boeing 717’s contribution to regional air travel.
