Appalachian Airlines was a U.S. commuter airline based in northeast Tennessee. Founded in 1977 as Appalachian Flying Service, it operated under the Appalachian Airlines name until ceasing operations in 1980. At one point, its fleet consisted of seven Piper Navajo aircraft. The airline offered scheduled passenger flights connecting communities in West Virginia, Tennessee, and Virginia. Its listed destinations were Beckley, Bluefield, Charleston, and Elkins in West Virginia; Tri-Cities in Tennessee; and Roanoke and Wise in Virginia. Flights served Beckley Raleigh County Memorial Airport, Mercer County Airport, Yeager Airport, Elkins-Randolph County Airport, Tri-Cities Regional Airport, Roanoke Regional Airport, and Lonesome Pine Airport.
