Trans Island Air 2000 (abbreviated TIA) was an airline from Barbados, which was headquartered in Christ Church and operated regional charter flights (including cargo) out of its base at Grantley Adams International Airport.
History
The airline was founded in 1982 as Trans Island Air[1] and rebranded as Trans Island Air 2000 in 2000, and at this time operated a mixed fleet including Pilatus Britten-Norman Islanders, Rockwell Aero Commanders, a DHC-6 Twin Otter and an Embraer EMB-110 Bandeirante.[2] On 30 June 2004, a Twin Otter 300, registered 8P-MLK)[3] was substantially damaged when it veered off the runway at St. Vincent's E.T. Joshua International Airport during an aborted take-off run.[4] Shortly after, Trans Island Air 2000 was shut down.[2]
