As well as a European contract operator, Air Florida also used one from the USA as well to operate transatlantic services, with aircraft of a different size than Air Florida possessed themselves.
And lastly, not all their European services appeared in their timetables. At the start of their operations, they ran a number of chartered holiday flights, especially to points not otherwise scheduled, and operating to Orlando rather than Miami. I recall their DC-10s making a weekly appearence at Manchester on such flights in early 1980.
Not a bit ungallant at all, sir!
The Air Florida titles on the European carrier's aircraft were rather small. I recall a photo of one at Zurich (ZRH), I believe......
And it sounds like another entity was actually operating the Air Florida DC-10-30 TATL service, which I was not aware of! Care to elucidate?
Meantime, we await the identity of the European airline and the twin jet aircraft they operated on behalf of Air Florida.....
