About Atlantis Airlines (United States)
Ghost Corp Apparel — resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Atlantis Airlines, Inc. was a Florence, South Carolina commuter carrier that began scheduled service on April 1, 1979. Its first route connected Charlotte, North Carolina, with Myrtle Beach, South Carolina—a small regional launch with a decidedly big-name ambition.
The airline built its Southeastern network with Piper Navajos, de Havilland Twin Otters and Fairchild Swearingen Metroliners. In 1980, Atlantis purchased Air Carolina, bringing more Carolinas-and-beyond connective tissue into the timetable.
By 1985, Atlantis had joined Eastern Air Lines’ commuter system as Eastern Atlantis Express. BAe Jetstream 31 turboprops became the visual calling card for its feeder flights into Atlanta and Charlotte, where the little airline helped passengers make very large connections.
Operations ceased in 1989, leaving behind route maps, timetables and the particular romance of a regional airline that made the Southeast feel one propeller stop closer. Our Atlantis Airlines (United States) collection celebrates Florence-born hustle, Twin Otter utility, Jetstream flair, and an airline name that promised an entire lost continent before boarding even began.
