Atlantic North Airlines


Atlantic North Airlines was a Vermont-based commuter carrier linking several cities in New England and New Jersey.

History

Atlantic North was formed through the acquisition of SkyMaster Air Taxi of Laconia, New Hampshire in March 1993.
SkyMaster was itself formed in the mid-1980s and operated charter and air taxi services. Its initial route linked Laconia with Boston. Eventually SkyMaster would serve cities in New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, and New Jersey.
The carrier's operations were short-lived and Atlantic North ceased all flights in August 1993.

Destinations

Atlantic North operated scheduled services to Rutland, Vermont, Laconia, New Hampshire, Keene, New Hampshire, Boston, Massachusetts, and Newark, New Jersey. Keene was utilized as a hub connecting passengers, mail, and cargo between northern destinations and the cities of Newark and Boston. With the exception of a Saturday-only service between Laconia and Rutland, this route network mirrored those operated by SkyMaster Airlines.

Fleet

The carrier operated a fleet of Piper PA-31 Navajo and Beechcraft Model 99 aircraft. Additional equipment was leased as needed.
