Edward Joseph Daly (November 22, 1922 – January 21, 1984) was an American airline executive most notable for owning World Airways, a supplemental air carrier (effectively a charter carrier from 1964 onward) which he bought in 1950 and ran until 1982. Under his leadership, the airline drew national attention for its humanitarian efforts during the Vietnam War, as well as its pioneering low fare and no-frills scheduled passenger airline service.
