In 1983, Emerald Air was operating scheduled passenger service wholly within the state of Texas with flights serving Austin, Corpus Christi, Houston, McAllen and San Antonio with DC-9-10 jet equipment as well as with Fairchild F-27 and Fairchild Hiller FH-227 turboprops. Here's their timetable....

And besides Omaha and Wichita, Emerald Air subsequently served Oklahoma City as well.

BONUS QUESTION C: Besides the DC-9-10, what other jet aircraft type did Emerald Air operate during its existence?
ANSWERED - BAC One-Eleven
