ATLANTIC GULF AIRLINES

Atlantic Gulf was one the very rare U.S. carriers to operate classic Vickers Viscount turboprops in the 1980s. Starting in 1983, the airline flew the Viscounts and Convair 580s on routes between Atlanta, St. Petersburg, Ft. Lauderdale, Miami, and Tallahassee. BAC 1-11 jets were added to the fleet in 1985 and were flown between Miami and the Caribbean. Atlantic Gulf shut down in 1986.
