United American Airways

United American Airways is one of the two primary domestic airlines in GeoFS.

The airline was founded in Late-March 2019 by JaidynWilliams1.

## History

United American Airways was founded in late March 2019 by JaidynWilliams1. At the time, the small startup airline was called US South Airlines and used the DHC-6 Twin Otter, the DHC-8 Q400, the A321-200, the 737-200 (from Air North) and the 737-700. The base was formerly in Miami. The airline underwent an overhaul in June 2019 thus changing the ICAO from USA to USQ, the Callsign from US South to Patriot Flight and the base from Miami to Philadelphia.

The airline experienced major staffing issues since its launch, and temporarily shut down from 26 August through 29 August 2019 due to the issues.

After that United American had another OAC overhaul hence starting the new subsidiaries Western Coast Air, Carolinair, and ShuttleAir. Western Coast Air started West Coast operations taking over United American’s west coast operations and merging with Honolulu Air Shuttle for their flights. Carolinair started operations in South Carolina and flies to most Carolina regional airports. ShuttleAir’s info is found in “subsidiaries”

## AirportXpress Miami

AirportXpress Miami is an extension of the AirportXpress system in Miami, Florida. The trains operate 24/7 as an Airport Shuttle for passengers going to and from Miami Int’l. This service is operated by trains only using existing upgraded infrastructure. The trains were originally DMUs (Diesel Multiple Units) but then were sent to Bombardier Transportation in Thunder Bay, ON for a conversion from DMU to a modified version of a DEMU (meaning it’s basically a hybrid bus in train form). The conversion is done by Bombardier Rail with cooperation and help by Siemens and BAE Systems (Spoiler, the transmission sounds a BAE Hybridrive HDS-200 transmission by a slight electric Siemens motor could be heard when the engine stops when the train’s speed is under 15km/h)
