Tropic Air Charters

Tropic Air Charters is a charter operator based at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (FXE) in Florida. It describes itself as an FAA-certificated on-demand air carrier, and an independent operator directory lists Tropic Air Charters, Inc. as a Part 135 operator overseen by the FAA's Miami Flight Standards District Office.

Its work centres on flights between South Florida and the Bahamas, with destinations named on its website including Nassau, Bimini, Marsh Harbour and Abaco, North Eleuthera and Staniel Cay in the Exumas. Alongside passenger charters it carries cargo for island logistics, including yacht provisioning, construction materials, perishables and freight-forwarder shipments. The website also lists helicopter charter.

The fixed-wing fleet is built around the Britten-Norman Islander, a small twin-engine utility aircraft, which the company says can carry up to nine passengers depending on configuration, weight and weather. Registry-based directory data shows several Islanders on the certificate, most of them built in the 1970s. The website also associates the company with the Sikorsky S-76B helicopter.

An air ambulance service is run under the separate Tropic Air Rescue name and website. The company refers to decades of island operations but does not give a founding year, and each charter request is quoted individually.
