Air Florida was an American low-cost airline that operated from 1971 to 1984. Founded as a regional carrier, it expanded its operations to include flights to various destinations in the United States, the Caribbean, and South America. However, the airline faced financial difficulties and operational challenges, which led to its bankruptcy and eventual closure. Air Florida is best known for its involvement in the tragic crash of Flight 90 in 1982, where a Boeing 737 crashed into the Potomac River, resulting in the loss of 78 lives.
