Southern Airways was created in 1949, operating a fleet of all DC-3s until 1961. Martin 404s were introduced in 1961, and by 1967, Southern had joined the ranks of DC-9 operators. In an unusual step, Southern introduced the Metro on low density routes as it grew into a major airline, extending from New York to Grand Cayman. Under mounting financial pressure, Southern merged into North Central to become Republic in 1979
