BAHAMA-CARIBBEAN / AERO INTERNATIONAL
Bahama-Caribbean began scheduled flights between Miami and Ft. Lauderdale to Bimini in 1980 shortly after Shawnee Airlines abandoned the route. Within the next few years the airline operated several unusual routes with a strong emphasis on SHORT-haul: Miami - Homestead - Key Largo/ Port Largo Airport and Miami - Pompano Beach. Routes were flown using Cessnas and Britten-Norman Islanders. In 1981 the name was changed to Bahamas Caribbean and in 1982 the airline became Aero International. The airline changed names yet again in 1985 and was rebranded as Air South (no relation to the Georgia-based Air South that flew during the 1960s and 70s).
