MID-SOUTH AIRWAYS
Mid-South Airways Incorporated, based in Statesboro, Georgia, was formed in 1959 as a way to connect small towns across central and south Georgia to larger cities and major airlines. Many of their destinations are certainly some of the smallest Georgia towns to ever have received air service. At the time, rail service was diminishing and the interstate expressways were not yet completed. Air travel over very short distances was seen by many as a feasible means of transportation.
The airline was apparently short-lived. I have found no record of it after 1960.
