The airline began charter operations as Morris Air Service in 1984. It was founded by June Morris who also founded Morris Travel, and David Neeleman who also co-founded WestJet. David Neeleman worked with Southwest for a short period. When his non-compete agreement expired, Neeleman founded JetBlue Airways. June Morris sat on the Board of Directors of Southwest Airlines until she retired at Southwest's annual shareholders' meeting on May 17, 2006.

Charter flights were operated by Ryan International Airlines during 1992, and by both Ryan International and Sierra Pacific Airlines prior to 1992.

Morris obtained its own FAR 121 operating certificate in December 1992 and then began operating as its own carrier.

The airline was based at Salt Lake City International Airport and operated several routes primarily in the western United States using Boeing 737 aircraft.
