AIR SOUTH
(November 1984- July 1987) Florida
This Air South (no relation to the other airlines by the same name) 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 a trio of three-engine Britten Norman Tri-Islanders were added to the fleet. Below: Britten Norman Tri-Islander N905GD pictured at Marathon, Florida.
