GULFSTREAM INTERNATIONAL

Gulfstream began operating in 1990 with flights between Miami and Cap Haitien, Haiti, service which was quickly halted due to the unstable political climate in the island country. The following year Gulfstream began flights between Miami, the Bahamas, Orlando and Vero Beach. In 1994 the airline expanded into Atlanta and took over GP Express' Essential Air Service obligations to Anniston, AL. In the early and mid 1990s the fleet consisted of Cessna 402s, Beech BE-C99s, and Shorts 360s. Gulfstream continues to fly today across Florida and the Bahamas and also maintains a hub at Cleveland, Ohio.

Gulfstream International Group, which operates the airline as well as a flight school, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on November 4, 2010. The airline continues to fly.
