Spotting Cape Air at Boston Logan Airport (from July 27, 2015). As my wife and I waited to catch our first ever Jetblue flight in Boston a few weeks ago, we came across the gate space for commuter airline Cape Air. Since it was very late on a Sunday, there were some planes parked just outside the windows of the gate. The airline was started in 1988 by pilots Craig Stewart and Dan Wolf, and financier Grant Wilson fling between Provincetown and Boston. The airline expanded in the early 90’s with new routes across southeastern New England. Cape Air and Nantucket Airlines merged In 1994, offering hourly flights between Nantucket and Hyannis. The airline also operates commuter flights for United Airlines, American Airlines, and JetBlue. The airline also operates special painted “Art In Flight” Cessna 402 aircraft paying homage to the regions and communities they serve with “A Whale Of A Plane”, “Fantasy Flyer”, “Where It All Began”, and “Green Machine”.
Cape Air from Boston Harbor to Manhattan?
June 14, 2016. Getting quickly to Manhattan from downtown Boston can be tough task for the business traveler. No matter if you drive, fly commercial from Logan, or take the Amtrak train, the commute will most likely take you more than three hours. A faster solution may be on the horizon, however. Following two years of preparations, both Cape Air and Tailwind are testing seaplane flights using a nine passenger Cessna Caravan. The plan is to use the Boston Harbor for takeoff and landing. If FAA approval is received, the two companies could launch service by the end of the year. The two competing airlines both claim that the demand is there for the new service. In order for the FAA to make an educated decision, they must coordinate with both city officials and the local Coast Guard. Fares for the seaplane service are expected to run around $1,000 for a round trip ticket. Be sure to visit www.capeair.com to book your flights today!
