THE STORY

Fly the friendly way

TAA was the government's half of Australia's two-airline policy, flying Melbourne to every capital and half the outback for forty years. It was renamed Australian Airlines in 1986 and disappeared into Qantas after that. Our TAA designs draw on the friendly-way years — the marks crews wore across Australia.

Every garment is printed when you order it, in the USA, with the disclaimer on the label: an independent tribute, for the people who remember.

Flew for TAA? Worked Essendon or Tullamarine? Remember the two-airline years?
