FLORIDA EXPRESS Florida Express was a low-fare jet airline based in
Orlando that served
points in Florida, the midwest, and the mid-Atlantic states. The
airline began operations in January 1984 with a fleet of BAC 1-11s.
Braniff (II) absorbed Florida Express in 1988, bringing the return of
some of the same BAC 1-11s that had flown with the original Braniff two
decades earlier.
