Bluestar is a fictional national airline in the US in the movie Wall Street. In the movie the company is taken over by Bud Fox, whose father is Bluestar mechanic Carl Fox, with financing from Gordon Gekko.
Fleet[]
Bud mentioned that Bluestar has a fleet of 80 narrow-body jets; Carl mentioned that the jet involved in the 1984 crash was manufactured in Cincinnati. Bluestar is only seen to operate BAC 1-11s but was also mentioned to have Boeing 737s at the time of its liquidation.
Destinations[]
Bluestar had a maintenance base at LaGuardia Airport in New York and, according to Bud, "flies northeast, Canada, some Florida and Caribbean routes... great slots in major cities."
Prior to the Gekko acquisition, Carl mentioned that Bluestar was seeking new routes to Boston and Pittsburgh. To obtain union support for the acquisition, Bud proposed opening new hubs in Atlanta, Dallas, and North Carolina.
Accidents and incidents[]
Bluestar suffered a crash in 1984, which the FAA ruled was due to a manufacturing flaw in the door latch mechanism, exonerating Bluestar from responsibility.
Liquidation[]
Shortly after Gekko acquired the company, he organized a liquidation, selling aircraft to Mexicana, slots and gates to Texas Air, and hangars to a condominium developer.
