  Kiwi International Airlines - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kiwi International Air Lines was a Part 121 American airline that operated from September 21, 1992, to March 23, 1999.
The former airline employees had formed a group and called themselves Kiwis because they were no longer flying, just like the flightless kiwi birds.
In 1999, the airline re-started, but this was a short lived comeback, as soon after, Kiwi was forced into bankruptcy again and Kiwi had to stop flying again before that year was over.

Kiwi International Air Lines was plagued with problems almost throught the company's existence: in 1994, reorganization was needed, and in 1996, the FAA temporarily forced Kiwi International to suspend its flights.
In 2001, the airline was acquired by a medical doctor from Baltimore, Maryland.
He thought of using the loan to fix the eight airplanes that still remained in Kiwi's possesion; this turned out too costly, however, because he would have had to pay a 15% annual interest rate [1], and the idea of returning Kiwi International Air Lines into the air again was eventually abandoned.

 F.A.A. Says a Lack of Trained Pilots Leads Kiwi Airlines to Reduce ItsFleet by Four - New York Times
The Federal Aviation Administration said today that Kiwi International Airlines Inc. had reduced its fleet to 11 Boeing 727's from 15 because many of its pilots were improperly trained and it lacked the personnel to run all its planes.
Kiwi, which was certified by the F.A.A. to fly in September 1992, was effectively grounded by the agency in December 1994 because of problems in pilot training, and has been operating under a consent order ever since.
Kiwi has been under close surveillance much longer, she said, and maintenance issues, which are involved in the Valujet grounding, did not play a major role in the move against Kiwi.
