Aeromarine West Indies Airways
Aeromarine West Indies Airways was a United States airline that operated from 1920 to 1924. It was reorganized as ''Aeromarine Airways'' in 1921.
A new Aeromarine West Indies Airways was incorporated in 2007.
==Original airline==
The original company was formed by a merger between Florida West Indies Airways and Aeromarine Sightseeing and Navigation Company (a subsidiary of the Aeromarine airplane manufacturing company) and was one of the first international airlines in the United States. It commenced operations on 1 November 1920 with a flight from Key West, Florida, to Havana, Cuba, and operated flying boats from the United States mainland to the Bahamas and Cuba. Transporting passengers, mail, and freight beginning in 1921, it ceased operations in early 1924 due to a freeze on mail contracts by the United States Post Office.
It was reorganized as Aeromarine Airways in spring of 1921 with Inglis Moore Uppercu, a New York Cadillac dealer as its president. Aeromarine enjoyed many firsts - the first U.S. international air mail service and first scheduled U.S. international passenger service (Key West to Havana, November 1, 1920); first total-service U.S. airline (passenger, mail, express cargo); first in-flight movie (Chicago, August 1921); first airline baggage label (1921); and the first U.S. airline ticket office (Cleveland, July 1922).〔http://www.timetableimages.com/ttimages/aerom.htm〕 Its slogan was "Speed Safety Comfort".〔http://www.thetravelinsider.info/airlines/airlineslogans.htm#aeromarine〕 The overseas flights in seaplanes named the ''Nina'', ''Pinta'', and ''Santa Maria'' brought passengers to popular destinations that still allowed drinking at the start of Prohibition. The new metal-hulled, six-passenger Aeromarine AMC was placed into service in 1924 but operated for only a short time before service ceased.
