 Prinair - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
During the 1970s, expansion saw the airline start services to Opa Locka, a Florida location close to Miami, Santo Domingo, the Virgin Islands, Martinique, Barbados, Puerto Plata, and many other Caribbean destinations, as well as Vieques, Mayaguez, Culebra and Aguadilla on the domestic side.

Increased competition for these routes in the shape of Aero Virgin Islands and Oceanair, plus some distrust from the public that still had not forgotten the fatal crashes, caused Prinair to cease operations in November, 1984.
