Air Florida Commuter
Air Florida Commuter was the regional feeder network for Air Florida. Air Florida Commuter was not an airline, but a system of affiliated commuter carriers that fed traffic into Air Florida's hubs. In an arrangement commonly known as code-sharing, each airline painted their aircraft in Air Florida aircraft livery and colors and their flights were listed in computer reservation systems as Air Florida flights.
