 Organization

Historical Note

Mohawk Airlines began operations in 1945 as Robinson Airlines. In 1958 the airline was the first to hire a Black flight attendant. Ruth Carol Taylor served as a flight attendant with Mohawk Airlines for 6 months, until she was terminated due to the airline's marriage ban policy. In 1972, the airline was acquired by Allegheny Airlines and ceased operations.
