AIR SOUTH CANCELLATIONS

Air South, a discount carrier that began service at Norfolk International Airport five weeks ago, canceled all four of its flights Sunday without explanation.

In the past, the Columbia, S.C.-based airline has skipped around the Southeast in search of underserved and discount-hungry markets.

Its pattern of starting services in new markets and then retreating has infuriated some airport managers.

Airline officials had promised that would not happen in Norfolk, however.

The airline could not be reached for comment Sunday. by CNB
