TransOcean Airways was formed in 1979 and originally planned to obtain their own operating certificate and purchase a single Convair 440 from Smyrna, TN-based Music City Airways. However, after an evaluation, it was then decided to buy Music City’s FAA operating certificate along with their only other airplane, a Convair 340 and Music City Airways was renamed as Gulf Air Transport. The carrier, having expanded into Europe was was forced into the rename by Gulf Air in 1988 complaints. The company subsequently failed to turn a profit and in Mar1990 all flight operations ceased with the airline then going out of business
