== History ==
Western Skyways was founded on November 17, 1986, and began operations on August 10, 1987. Western Skyways made its maiden flight from San Francisco to Los Angeles, with a McDonnell Douglas MD-81.
In 1989, Western Skyways launched a regional subsidiary called AirWR.
Western Skyways was in a bad financial state in the mid-1990s, and were on the verge of becoming bankrupt. The airline was however, purchased by WestAir on February 29, 1996. WestAir allowed Western Skyways to operate as a subsidiary of the company, rather than being absorbed into WestAir completely. 
Western Skyways’ regional subsidiary AirWR served as a connector airline for WestAir, until in 2002, when it merged with WestAir’s three other connector airlines, , , and to form WestAir Regional.
On February 13, 2018, WestAir gave Western Skyways the approval to join an airline alliance called Mapperdonia Skies, after WestAir left the alliance.
