In the United States, a legacy carrier is an airline that had established interstate routes before the beginning of the route liberalization permitted by the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978, and was therefore directly affected by it. Legacy carriers are distinct from low-cost carriers, which, in the United States, are generally new airlines that entered the market after 1978 to compete in the newly deregulated industry.[1]
