GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Set down plans, notes, or travel memories alongside a piece of Caribbean aviation history. Aero Virgin Islands connected St. Thomas, Saint Croix, and San Juan with scheduled service and charter flights across the region. Its DC-3 and C-47 aircraft became part of a changing era for island travel, before increasing competition and the effects of Hurricane Hugo contributed to the airline’s closure by 1990. This notebook suits aviation fans, airline history collectors, and travelers inspired by the story of regional routes.
Aero Virgin Islands Corp. was a St. Thomas-based airline that began Caribbean operations in the late 1970s. Its Federal Aviation Administration operations specifications under Part 121 were issued on March 2, 1977. Scheduled inter-island service linked St. Thomas, Saint Croix, and San Juan, with charter flights to other Caribbean destinations. The airline initially operated DC-3-202 aircraft and, around 1984, began using DC-3A, DC-3B, and DC-3C (C-47) aircraft leased from Puerto Rico; the aircraft had previously been part of Air BVI’s fleet. Its competitor Prinair went bankrupt in 1984, after which Aero Virgin Islands became a major passenger carrier for several years. In 1986, the company recruited four pilots with DC-3 experience while attempting, without success, to restore its Part 121 certificate and add a Martin 404. Hurricane Hugo damaged or destroyed aircraft at St. Thomas and San Juan in September 1989. Increasing competition, including from LIAT and American Eagle, contributed to the airline ceasing operations by 1990. Joseph A. Cranston founded the airline, and Reuben B. Wheatley served as president throughout its existence.
