The airline was set up out of necessity to increase the presence of partner company Caribbean Star Airlines.[citation needed]
On January 9, 2007, the airline announced that it would shut down operations by month-end.[1][2]
After several attempts to re-establish the airline's business, the company was sold on January 13, 2009 to an industry group owned by Mr. T. Romero and associates. Joseph Fernandez was appointed as President and CEO; the new airline model also included a new branding and the name World Atlantic Airlines. WAA has undergone aircraft certification with the FAA and financial fitness with the DOT. In August 2010, an application for a new AOC was filed and in September 2010, the FAA issued the AOC. Under the leadership of Mr. Fernandez, the airline resumed flight operations in the third quarter of 2010.
The airline took delivery of their first aircraft, a McDonnell Douglas MD-83 with 155 passenger seats. The aircraft received a new interior design that offers the branding look and feel of World Atlantic Airlines and provides "World Economy Class" service and it is currently operating the airline's flights.[3]
World Atlantic's current livery features a white fuselage with "World Atlantic" on blue lettering and the two arches (stylized for "WAA") in blue and green next to the front door, as well as the vertical stabilizer.[4]
Doesn't seem like much.

My point being: If you have anything useful to add that isn't already in the Wikipedia article (which, btw, can be manipulated by anyone), feel free to add it to the conversation.
