Bring a piece of 1990s Florida-to-Bahamas travel history to your everyday wardrobe with this Paradise Island Airlines Cotton Polo Shirt. The airline connected Florida vacationers with Paradise Island, using Dash 7 turboprops suited to the island airport’s short runway. Its story also reaches from Resorts International and Chalk’s Ocean Airways to later code-sharing flights with Carnival Air Lines. A thoughtful pick for aviation enthusiasts, Bahamas travelers, and collectors drawn to the resort routes of the era.
Paradise Island Airlines connected Florida with Paradise Island in the Bahamas during the 1990s. Resorts International, which owned hotels and other resort amenities on Paradise Island as well as Chalk's Ocean Airways, launched the airline in March 1989 to serve growing vacation traffic from Florida. Chalk's seaplanes were limited to daylight operations because of the challenges of landing on water at night. Paradise Island Airlines primarily used the de Havilland Canada DHC-7 Dash 7, a short takeoff and landing turboprop suited to the island airport's relatively short 3,000-foot runway. Its fleet also included de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter aircraft. Resorts International entered severe financial distress and sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in December 1989. Following financial difficulties and ownership changes involving both airlines, Paradise Island Airlines ceased operations in May 1999. Its destinations included Fort Lauderdale, Miami, West Palm Beach and Orlando in Florida, with Paradise Island as its primary destination. A December 1996 Carnival Air Lines route map also showed code-sharing service operated by Paradise Island Airlines aircraft to Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers, Key West, Paradise Island and West Palm Beach.
