Mark the season with a reminder of Aeromarine Airways and its pioneering place in early airline history. The carrier’s first flight ran from Key West to Havana in 1920, and its flying boats later linked Florida with Cuba and the Bahamas. Passenger, mail, and freight service made the company part of aviation’s growing story, though operations ended in 1924. This ceramic ornament makes a meaningful keepsake for airline collectors, aviation enthusiasts, and fans of historic travel.
Aeromarine West Indies Airways was a U.S. airline formed through a merger of Florida West Indies Airways and Aeromarine Sightseeing and Navigation Company, a subsidiary of an aircraft manufacturer. It began operations on November 1, 1920, with a flight from Key West, Florida, to Havana, Cuba, becoming one of the country’s early international airlines. Its flying boats served routes between the mainland, the Bahamas, and Cuba. In spring 1921, the business was reorganized as Aeromarine Airways under president Inglis Moore Uppercu. From 1921 it carried passengers, mail, and freight, and introduced services and practices described in the source as U.S. airline firsts, including scheduled international passenger service and an airline ticket office. Service ended in early 1924 after the U.S. Post Office froze mail contracts. A new company using the Aeromarine West Indies Airways name was incorporated in Florida in February 2007. It proposed seaplane and propliner operations, initially between St. Augustine, Palm Beach, and Key West, but the supplied account describes plans rather than a confirmed launch.
