Southern Airways ExpressFDY/ 9X

Southern Airways Express is a small American regional airline based in Mississippi that operates scheduled passenger service throughout the southeastern United States, with a focus on underserved markets and smaller communities that lack commercial air service. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Olive Branch, Mississippi, the airline specializes in regional service to destinations across the South, operating a hub-and-spoke model from its base in Mississippi. Southern Airways Express operates as an independent regional carrier offering basic economy cabin service on its routes, which typically connect smaller airports to regional hubs and larger cities. The airline does not currently hold membership in any of the major global airline alliances (Star Alliance, SkyTeam, or oneworld), instead focusing on point-to-point regional connectivity. As a regional carrier serving a niche market of smaller communities underserved by major airlines, Southern Airways Express fills an important role in maintaining air service to areas that would otherwise lack convenient commercial aviation options.
