It all started after the 36th WACA Annual General Assembly, which took place in Tampa Florida, USA. Poppy Shiakalli Bowen / Cyprus Airways, past WACA Vice-President Public Relations, WACA member of honor, and, Kiki Williamson /Sabena, member-at-large, met at Kiki's house in Sarasota and talked about getting an interline club started. Kiki would email all her airline friends and Poppy would advertise in the local newspapers.

On January 14th, 2004 Poppy and Kiki had  lunch with 5 other airline employees. Claudette Austin/Delta, Roland Schoubert/Cyprus Airways, Bill Moore, Ardyth Bahr and Hasel Smith/Continental. The lunch was to discuss the formation of the Florida Interline club. which would unite and promote the activities of the club through the State of Florida and interline clubs throughout the world.  The objective of the formation of the club is to promote and encourage friendship, good fellowship and mutual understanding among airline personnel active and retiree.
