Southern Sky Air Tours Youth Hoodie / Sweatshirt
Product Details & Size Guide
Celebrate a distinctive chapter in regional air travel with this Southern Sky Air Tours youth hoodie or sweatshirt. The company operated under the name Direct Air from Myrtle Beach, arranging charter flights with partner airlines rather than maintaining its own aircraft. Its network connected leisure destinations, including cities in the Northeast and Florida, before flights stopped in 2012. For young travelers and aviation fans, the story offers a lasting connection to airline history, changing routes, and a brand that made its mark without owning a fleet.
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.
