Air Florida, which has laid off most of its 1,200 employees, also hopes to take off again soon. At week's end the company was planning a resumption of its Miami-London run.

"It may be able to make a niche as a charter operator," says one airline-industry insider, "but the outlook is not promising." If Air Florida does return to the skies, it could find them less friendly than ever.
