Founded in 1946 as Capitol Airways, the carrier later rebranded to Capitol International Airways in 1967 before finally operating as Capitol Air from 1981 until its bankruptcy and closure in 1984. The "Lowest Fare" slogan found on promotional items like this pen was heavily utilized during its final era as Capitol Air (1982–1983) to market their budget-friendly, one-class scheduled flights. This piece makes a fantastic addition to any vintage pen or aviation-themed collection.
