Southern Airways Express is a commuter airline which offers flights to over twenty cities in the Southern and Mid-Atlantic states in the US. The airline has four bases, one in each of Baltimore (BWI), Memphis (MEM), Pittsburgh (PIT) and Palm Beach (PBI).
The airline launched in 2013 and has grown significantly, offering more than 100 daily flights under its own airline name, as well as up to 1,500 weekly flights with its partner airline, Mokulele Airlines. The carrier has been aligned with Mokulele Airlines since the early stages of 2019, after acquiring the airline. The acquisition has allowed the airline to expand its focus beyond the south of the USA and give a similar offering in Hawaii among smaller airports. Partnerships and airline acquisition has been a big factor in the airline's growth — one of Southern Airways Express' other important milestone was when it acquired Sun Air Express in 2016 and took on its routes and aircraft.
