Vintage Props and Jets is a commuter airline based in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. The airline provides daily flights between select cities in Florida and The Bahamas.

Vintage Props and Jets have been in business as a scheduled airline since 1991, more than most carriers between Florida and the Bahamas. Vintage Props and Jets also maintains a repair station at New Smyrna Beach Airport that specializes in Beechcraft equipment. The carrier also provides aircraft management for individuals owning Beechcraft King Air 100 & 200 series equipment; but its core operations remain the scheduled airline service. Vintage has wet leased an Embraer EMB-145 Jet from ExpressJet Airlines to operate select Saturda-only services between Daytona Beach, Ft Lauderdale, and Jacksonville to and from Marsh Harbour and Treasure Cay in the Bahamas.

The airline has bid for EAS services between Athens, Georgia; Macon, Georgia; Atlanta, Georgia and Sanford/Orlando, Florida. [cite web | title = Athens Banner-Herald | url = http://www.onlineathens.com/stories/041708/news_2008041700348.shtml]

On July 18, 2008, Vintage Props and Jets temporarily ceased operations and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
