CAI (Central American International)

CAI was established at Louisville, Kentucky to offer on-demand worldwide cargo charter and contract service flights. Operations commenced with a fleet of 3 Convair CV-880s, 1 Lockheed L-18 Lodestar, and 1 Douglas DC-3. Much of the business is undertaken for the air freight forwarder Profit Express. Unable to maintain viability in a recessionary environment, the carrier stopped flying in 1982. Its assets will later be purchased by Trans International Airlines
