Historical airline service
Bonanza Airlines flew to Hawthorne in the 1950s.[2]
From 1963 through 1969, Hawthorne was served by Hawthorne Nevada Airlines (HNA), formed by the owners of the El Capitan Casino. HNA had two Douglas DC-3s and a Lockheed L-049 Constellation and flew to Hawthorne from Long Beach, Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area. Prior to starting HNA, El Capitan relied on DC-3s and Douglas DC-4s flown to Hawthorne by Blatz Airlines, a so-called supplemental air carrier.
