The World's First Airline - a Bit of History

Some Aviation Trivia....

The first airline in the world to hold scheduled service was the St. Petersburg-Tampa Airboat Line.  The service began in the winter of 1914.  One or two (maximum) passengers sat on wooden seats and enjoyed Florida sunshine and salt spray directly on their faces (yes, an open cockpit!)

Phoenix East made dreams come true. As a former flight student and flight instructor at Phoenix East Aviation, I have to give PEA all the credit for making my dreams come true. Phoenix East provided me with very professional and timely flight training. Included in my course was the B-727 airline training program that prepared me for the big jets and an airline job. The fact that I was given the opportunity to work as an instructor after graduation made me obtain the necessary experience and flight hours to become eligible for an airline job. In my Scandinavian Airlines interview, the Captain made a great point of me being a graduate of Phoenix East Aviation. He said that he had seen a lot of highly qualified applicants come from Phoenix East. Well, I got the job. Today I’m a First Officer on an MD-88 for Scandinavian Airlines and I love it.
