Air South (South Carolina)
Air South was a low-cost airline from the United States, headquartered in Columbia, South Carolina. Between 1994 and 1997, it offered domestic flights mainly serving the southeast of the country. For a time, a partnership with Kiwi International Air Lines was maintained.
History
The company was founded in 1993, though the first aircraft, a used Boeing 737-200, arrived with Air South on 12 July 1994. Over the following months, additional aging 737-200s were added, and by 1995, the fleet had grown to a total of seven airliners. The initial business model of Air South in the first year of operation showed a modest profit, however after management changes and a refocusing on new airline routes, the airline failed and went bankrupt.Destinations
