Denver Ports of Call is a defunct United States private airline which operated flights for the Denver-based Ports of Call Travel Club from 1967 to 1992. In its heyday, Ports of Call was the largest air travel club in the United States, with at one time over 66,000 members.
Ports of Call was established in 1966 as a travel club in Denver, Colorado. The travel club had a private terminal separate from the main public terminal at Stapleton International, and operated their own domestic and international trips using specially outfitted private aircraft. They began by using large 4-engine piston and turboprop aircraft such as the Douglas DC-7 and the Lockheed L-188 Electra. The pilots were initially commercial airline employees who flew Ports of Call aircraft in their off time, and later were full-time employees. The flight attendants stayed with each travel club group on a trip for up to a month as group tour guides.
As Ports of Call grew, more modern jet aircraft such as the Convair 990 (from 1975), Boeing 707 and Boeing 727 were acquired on the second hand market. By 1986, Ports of Call operated 11 Boeing 707-300 airliners, a B707-100, and a single B727-100 with club membership exceeding 66,000.
Ports of Call ceased operations in July 1989.
