Ryan International Airlines (RYN) was an American contract, cargo and charter airline that at one time had a fleet of over 40 commercial jet aircraft. The company originated as a modest 1973 spin-off of a single Learjet from the business activities of Wichita entrepreneur Jack P. DeBoer under the leadership of DeBoer's former corporate pilot, Ronald D. Ryan. In 1977, after a change of ownership, the business was renamed Ryan Aviation and started flying Cessna Citations for Emery Air Freight later that year, upgrading to Boeing 727s in late 1981. The airline was sold to PHH Group in 1986 and briefly named PHH Air in 1988–1989, but after losing all its business, PHH sold the moribund airline back to Ryan in 1989, who quickly resuscitated it as Ryan International Airlines, again flying for Emery, this time subcontracting for a United States Postal Service (USPS) contract.
