- Aeromarine West Indies Airways
The original Aeromarine West Indies Airways, was one of the first international airlines in the United States, operating
flying boat s from the US mainland to theBahamas andCuba . Transporting passengers, mail, and freight safely and successfully beginning in 1921, it was forced to cease operations in 1924 due to a freeze on mail contracts by the US Postal Service.Fact|date=March 2008Present day
In February 2007, after 83 years of inactivity, Aeromarine West Indies Airways was re-incorporated in the State of Florida [FL Dept of State corporation # P07000026223] and once more became a legally operating aviation concern. In December 2007, Aeromarine officially applied to the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for an “Air Carrier Certificate” under FAR (Federal Air Regulations) Part 121, expecting to again fly passengers, mail, and freight, this time originating from Aeromarine’s primary hub inSt. Augustine, Florida . The first proposed air route to be operated by Aeromarine West Indies Airways will be from St. Augustine toPalm Beach (with connections toFreeport andBimini in the Bahamas), and from Palm Beach toKey West (Sugarloaf Key ).Aeromarine’s new slogan is "Aeromarine West Indies Airways... The return of an airline that offers the romance and adventure of a bygone age!"Fact|date=March 2008
