AIR MIAMI
Primarily an air taxi company, Air Miami operated scheduled flights beginning in 1977. The company purchased Shawnee Airlines in 1978, and operated it as a separate entity until late 1979. Air Miami is noteworthy for being the first airline to operate as an Air Florida Commuter carrier in 1980. The airline became North American Airlines on December 1, 1980.
