Key Lime AirLYM/ KG

Key Lime Air was a small American cargo airline that operated scheduled and charter freight services, primarily serving regional markets in the United States. Founded and based in Florida, the airline specialized in transporting cargo to smaller airports that were underserved by major carriers, making it an important regional logistics operator. Key Lime Air ceased operations in 2012 after several years of financial difficulties in the post-recession cargo market. The airline had focused on point-to-point cargo routes rather than hub-and-spoke operations, distinguishing it from larger freight carriers. Its closure reflected the challenges faced by smaller regional carriers competing in an increasingly consolidated cargo industry.
