1 ABOUT CAPE AIR Our goal is to get you where you want to be as quickly and easily as possible.

Shortly after that first flight, we expanded our service across southern New England to Hyannis, Nantucket, New Bedford, Martha s Vineyard and Providence, RI. In 1993, we began offering flights between South Florida and the Keys and in 1998, our Caribbean route took flight. Finally, in 2004 we began service in Micronesia and added two new aircraft to our fleet, ATR 42s. These aircraft seat 46 passengers and serve our routes between Guam, Rota and Saipan. Now, operates a fleet of eighty-four Cessna 402s, four Britten-Norman Islanders and two ATR 42s, with up to 550 flights per day during high season. Last year carried over 586,000 passengers, making it one of the largest independent regional airlines in the United States. Wherever we fly, is recognized for our outstanding customer service and convenient hourly flights.
