Hyannis Air Service Inc

Our goal is to get you where you want to be as quickly and easily as possible. Since our first flight between Boston and Provincetown in 1989, Cape Air has provided year-round service to some of the most beautiful destinations in the world. 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. We began service in Micronesia in 2004 and added 2 new aircraft to our fleet, the ATR-42, which served our routes between Guam, Rota, and Saipan. We expanded our service to the Midwest markets in 2007, and then entered the Montana region in 2013. Now, Cape Air operates a fleet of 68 Cessna 402s, 30 Tecnam P2012 Travellers, and 4 Britten-Norman Islanders. A milestone was reached in September of 2019 with the arrival of Cape Air's newest aircraft type - the industry-changing Tecnam P2012 Traveller. With up to 200 flights per day during high season, Cape Air carries over 400,000 passengers a year, making us one of the largest commuter airlines in the United States. Wherever we fly, Cape Air is recognized for our outstanding customer service and convenient flight schedules. We have ticket and baggage agreements with most major airlines which means smooth connections and money-saving joint fares for our passengers. As an employee-owned company, and on behalf of our owners, we hope you enjoy your trip on Cape Air and we aim, as our mantra encourages, to MOCHA HAGoTDI. It means to Make our Customers Happy and Have a Good Time Doing It.
