Sadly, his ambitions were curtailed by economic realities inherited from Eastern ownership, while the onset of the Gulf War in 1990, alongside heightened competition and Trump's own unstable ventures into Atlantic City casinos, meant that by 1992, Trump Shuttle had disappeared from the skies following a last-minute sale to US Air, illustrating the last time Trump would venture directly into the airline market under his own name.
