AIR SOUTH (Florida, 1980s)

Air South (no relation to the earlier Air South based in Georgia) began scheduled flights as Bahama Caribbean between Miami and Ft. Lauderdale to Bimini in 1980. In 1981 the name was changed to Bahamas Caribbean and in 1982 the airline became Aero International.

The name was changed yet again in late 1984 to Air South and several three-engine Britten Norman Tri-Islanders were added to the fleet. Below: Britten Norman Tri-Islander N906GD pictured at Fort Lauderdale.
