Air Tahoma was an American cargo airline (Part 121) based in Columbus, Ohio, United States. It was established and started operations in 1996 in San Diego then later moved to Indianapolis in 1998 and to its last location at Rickenbacker International Airport, Columbus. Air Tahoma operated contract cargo flights internationally to the Caribbean, Mexico, Vietnam, Philippines and the United States. Air Tahoma ceased operations in 2009. ==History== Noel Rude founded the company in 1996, and it was based out of Rickenbacker Airport in Columbus, OH Air Tahoma is a spin-off from Cool Air Inc., which was founded in 1986 by Rude and his father, Bud Rude, who is a veteran of the airline industry and who founded the parent company that originally flew firefighting missions in Washington. FedEx contracted with Air Tahoma to fly to cities without enough traffic to support a larger jet. Air Tahoma operated twin-engine turboprop Convairs (either the 580 or the 240). Their Air Carrier certificate was revoked in January 2009 after the FAA found many systemic violations of the Federal Aviation Regulations. The Rude Family has had many investments over the years including a gold mine in Alaska. Bud Rude founded an operation in Washington State called Cool Air Inc. in 1986, which later branched out and became Air Tahoma Inc. in 1996, under the direction of his son Noel Rude. Together, this father and son team make up R & R Holdings, but other family members also hold various positions in the company. In 2011 Noel Rude resumed cargo operations under new company name Air Tribe currently based in Guadalajara, Mexico. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Air Tahoma」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
