Start the day with a reminder of Air South, the Columbia-based low-cost airline whose operating story ran from 1994 to 1997. Founded in 1993, it began flying after a used Boeing 737-200 arrived on July 12, 1994. The carrier served domestic routes mainly in the Southeast and had seven aircraft by 1995. Its first-year profit, noted as uncommon for a startup, and a temporary partnership with Kiwi International Air Lines make this ceramic coffee mug a thoughtful pick for airline history fans and collectors of short-lived U.S. carriers.

Air South was a low-cost airline headquartered in Columbia, South Carolina, serving domestic routes mainly in the southeastern United States from 1994 to 1997. Founded in 1993, it began flying after its first aircraft, a used Boeing 737-200, arrived on 12 July 1994. The airline added more older 737-200 aircraft over the following months; those aircraft had originally been delivered to their operators between 1968 and 1979. By 1995, its fleet had grown to seven airliners. Air South’s first year of operation produced a profit, an uncommon result for a startup, according to the article. For a time, it maintained a partnership with Kiwi International Air Lines. The supplied article describes scheduled service with a small fleet of Boeing 737-200 jetliners, but does not name the destinations in its text. It records the airline’s operating period as ending in 1997 and identifies it as a defunct U.S. airline. No merger, predecessor, or successor is stated in the supplied article.
