Need Help Identifying an Airline

JJ Skippy

Well-known member
A friend of mine sent me this route map from 1984 with an airline simply called AAA Airlines. I can’t seem to find much information on this airline, so if anyone knows more, feel free to post your findings or knowledge.

I cannot find anything other than two eBay listings. They show the same timetable, just printed differently and for different times.

*Sorry about the 'worse' typo, silly me typing on a phone :D

AAA Airlines (code TLA) was an Omaha based carrier, founded 1977.
By 1986 (that's the closest book I have) they had a fleet of 5:
- PA31 (Cargo)
- Cessna 404 (Cargo)
- DHC-6
- 2x EMB-110

Edit: going by the available info, the DHC-6 N177TA could have been the only larger airframe by 1984 as the Bandeirantes apparently came later.

Thank you so much. I’ll have to seek some timetables for this airline but it’s good to know they started service to FSD in 84.
 
Nice. Kinda reminds me of Air Florida...the colors at least.
Interesting similarities indeed, but this Twotter shows basic Air Pacific colors (N137AP)

I doubt operators like AAA even had their own CI other than their titles.
Another database search shows that Bandeirante N135EM was with AAA from 1984. Here she is with AAA titles.
