Point Air was famous for its low prices, before the age of low-cost airlines.[citation needed]
The airline started operations in 1980. Built on the remains of the French Antillan SATT (Société Antillaise de Transport Touristique)[1][2], the Swiss-registered Point Air went into a politically enforced bankruptcy in 1988.
