Prinair    Convair 580   N770PR                  (c/n  56)
                              
                                 

                                    In the 1980s Prinair expanded their capacity with the introduction of five Convair 580s. They
                                    were used mainly on the Virgin island routes.     N770PR (above) was formerly with Mackey
                                    Airlines as N9012J.    Prinair suffered three fatal accidents over the years (plus two non-fatal
                                    highjackings) and this, combined with increased competition from Aero Virgin Islands and
                                    Oceanair resulted in the airline ceasing operations in November 1984.
