Sky Bridge is a small cargo carrier based in San Juan, Puerto Rico. It started in the '80s with old piston-driven cargo planes, then transitioned to an all-Beechcraft 1900 fleet in the late '90s-early 2000s (all aircraft were converted from passenger variants to 1900CFs and DFs). The airline mostly operates as a contractor for larger freight specialist carriers - transferring mail, packages, and other loose freight from 757s, A300s, and various other cargo aircraft arriving into San Juan onto its Beechcraft 1900s, then flying it to cities like Ponce in Puerto Rico as well as to island destinations, mostly in the Virgin Islands. However, it also flies ad-hoc freight charters, and provides other such service - famously flying an injured endangered sea turtle to Tampa for rehabilitation. In 2019, Sky Bridge acquired a 737-800 that had previously flown for Pacific Airways, and converted it into a 737-800BCF. With the aircraft still mostly in the Pacific Airways livery, it was used in the summer of 2019 to fly aid and humanitarian supplies to Puerto Rico following Hurricane Dorian, and again in the winter of 2019-2020 after the series of earthquakes suffered by the island during that time. Outside of that time, the cargo carrier's sole 737 mostly operates outside of the aforementioned 'island freight' contract network, instead operating cargo flights for other customers. It is often seen in Miami, Dallas, as well as various Mexican and Caribbean airports.
