A Douglas DC-3 operated by Empire Air Lines at Boise, Idaho in 1952.

Empire Air Lines was a United States local service carrier that was founded in July 1944 by Bert Zimmerly at Lewiston, Idaho.[1] The founder had formerly been operating Zimmerly Airlines, a commercial charter service that had been operating since 1943.[1] Empire was inactive until early in 1946, when it purchased the assets of Zimmerly Airlines, including ten Boeing 247 aircraft.[1][2] Starting as an intrastate airline in Idaho, it operated daily round trip service between Coeur d'Alene, Idaho and Pocatello, Idaho with four intermediate stops.[2] The Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) granted temporary permission to the airline to offer interstate feeder lines between Spokane, Washington and locations in Idaho and eastern Oregon.[3][4]

In 1952, the CAB approved the sale of Empire Air Lines to West Coast Airlines for about $500,000 (Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "[".).[5]
