Rio Airways - TranStar SkyLink

TranStar SkyLink

For a brief amount of time, Rio Airways provided code-share commuter passenger feed services for TranStar Airlines, the successor to Muse Air after Muses's acquisition by Southwest Airlines. Only in print media were Rio's aircraft ever illustrated in TranStar SkyLink brandings. According to the newspaper the Victoria Advocate, plans were for TransStar Skylink to feature the aircraft livery in the fashion of TranStar, and smaller Fokker F27 aircraft were going to supplant DC9-50's upon the Houston Hobby - Brownsville, TX route as well as some other intra Texas routes.

Among the routes flown as a TranStar Skylink feeder brand were:
Killeen Texas - Austin Texas
Victoria Texas - Houston Texas
