Rio Airways was a regional passenger airline headquartered in Killeen, Texas, United States, and was operational from 1967 to 1987. Rio Airways was initially based in Corpus Christi, Texas in 1970. The air carrier initiated service with three Beechcraft 99 commuter turboprops and was operating scheduled passenger flights in 1970 serving Austin, Brownsville, Corpus Christi, Houston, Laredo, TX, McAllen, TX and San Antonio. Rio was then purchased by Hood Airlines in 1971 with this small air carrier respectively being based in Killeen with Hood dropping its own name but continuing to use the Rio Airways name. Rio Airways operated code sharing flights on behalf of Delta Air Lines from June 1984 through December 1986 whereby Rio flights were booked and sold under the Delta Connection brand name as Delta was operating a hub at the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) at this time. Delta subsequently replaced Rio with Atlantic Southeast Airlines (ASA) for its Delta Connection service at DFW. Rio then briefly operated as Braniff Express on behalf of Braniff from December, 1986 through the spring of 1987. Prior to the Delta Connection and Braniff Express service, Rio Airways (air carrier code "XO") operated independently but shared terminal gates at the DFW airport first with Texas International Airlines (1974), then with Braniff International Airways (1975-1978). Prior to operations at DFW it operated at Dallas Love Field, having its roots in two smaller commuter air carriers, Dal Airways and Hood Airways. (en) |
