Oceanair (IATA: TJ) was a regional airline that was based at Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico.[citation needed] It competed on domestic routes with Prinair; and on routes to the Virgin Islands with Prinair and with Aero Virgin Islands; using propeller-driven aircraft.[citation needed]

The airline flew from the late 1970s, when it started flying as Trans Commuter Airline,[1] to the mid-1980s.

According to the Oceanair February 15, 1982 system timetable, the airline operated up to thirteen flights a day between San Juan and St. Thomas, up to nine flights a day between San Juan and St. Croix, and two flights a day between St. Thomas and St. Croix.[2] The airline was operating 40-passenger Fairchild F-27s and 10-passenger Beechcraft Queen Airs at this time.[citation needed]
