Atlanta Skylarks
Independent Air originated with Atlanta Skylarks. The airline operated flights for the Atlanta Skylarks Travel Club beginning in July 1966 with a single DC-7. By early 1970s it expanded charter operations to the Caribbean using a Caravelle and two Boeing 720's. The airline license (not the club) was taken over in 1984 by Alvin Pittman and Orien Dickerson. Both previously worked for Capital Air. The new airline was named Independent Air.
