Southern Sky Air Tours Embroidered Dad Cap Hat
Product Details & Size Guide
Celebrate a memorable name in American charter travel with this Southern Sky Air Tours Embroidered Dad Cap Hat. Better known to travelers as Direct Air, the Myrtle Beach-based company began flying in 2007 and connected leisure destinations with flights arranged through partner airlines. The route map and operating carriers changed over the years, and service ended abruptly in 2012. For aviation enthusiasts, regional airline collectors, or anyone drawn to the history of Myrtle Beach travel, this cap offers a simple way to recognize the brand and its unusual place in airline history.
Southern Sky Air Tours operated under the name Direct Air, a virtual airline based in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Announced in November 2006, it began flying on March 7, 2007, with its main base at Myrtle Beach International Airport. Rather than operating its own aircraft, Direct Air arranged charter flights with other airlines. Sky King initially flew the service using Boeing 737-200 aircraft; after that relationship ended in May 2007, flights were operated primarily by Xtra Airways and Sky King, with other carriers also used at times. The network included destinations such as Niagara Falls, Plattsburgh, Newark, and several Florida cities. Direct Air added a St. Petersburg station, which closed in 2008, and later served routes from Melbourne, Palm Beach, and Lakeland. On March 12, 2012, it cancelled its charter flights and announced a possible restart, but did not resume service. It filed for Chapter 11 protection on March 16; Chapter 7 liquidation began April 12, 2012. Subsequent legal proceedings concerned the company’s finances and passenger-fare escrow funds. Direct Air had no aircraft fleet of its own.
