Some built new lives, some muddled through, and some never recovered. But several hundred invested their money and talents with me to create an exciting new career opportunity. In 1993, Conde Naste Traveler named KIWI "Best Airline in America."

Instead of cowering and giving up, we joined forces, believed in each other, and overcame every obstacle in our path.
