Some other short-lived Trans Atlantic LCC's: Air Florida: flew DC-10s from Miami to London, Amsterdam, Brussels, and several other European cities, in the early 1980's. Capitol Air: a US charter airline that began service in the late 1940's, flew transatlantic scheduled services with DC-8s and DC-10s in the early 1980's. Like Air Florida, Capitol collapsed in 1984. American Eagle: a post-deregulation startup, flew 707s from New York and Detroit to Germany and Italy, in 1980-81. They were not related to American Airlines; American sued them because their name was too similar to American's. Highland Express: flew 747s from Prestwick to the US and Canada in the mid-1980s. Anyone interested in the US post-deregulation startups should get a copy of Deregulation Knockouts - volume One, by Tom Norwood. This book has the histories of more than 100 short-lived US startups.
