Keep the story of Caribbean island flying close with this Aero Virgin Islands quarter zip pullover. The St. Thomas carrier served scheduled routes linking Saint Croix and San Juan and also operated charter flights around the region. Its fleet history, from DC-3 aircraft to DC-3 and C-47 variations, recalls a changing era of air travel across the islands. A considered choice for aviation enthusiasts, airline history collectors, and travelers with a connection to the United States Virgin Islands.

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.
