The Airporter was an intercity-style coach that the Flxible Company of Loudonville, Ohio, offered in the years just after the Second World War, when the firm had returned to coach building with a more streamlined version of its Clipper. As its name suggests it was aimed at airport work: Flxible Owners International records that Airporters were used successfully in limousine fleets in New York and Chicago and at many other air terminals. It sits in the Clipper family of Flxible coaches that were built on the Buick-engined pattern of the late 1930s and 1940s, and it was listed as a separate model for only a few seasons before the heavier VisiCoach arrived in 1950.
