Trans Island Air 2000 (abbreviated TIA) was an airline from Barbados, which was headquartered in Christ Church[citation needed] 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.
