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] After discontinuing business operations for the last 4 years, TIA2000 has now been approved by all necessary government agencies (Barbados) to re-commence flight operations. It is expected to be fully operational by December 15, 2016. Its web-site, www.tia2000.com, is currently under design development and is expected to launch by November 30th, 2016 at the latest.
