Celebrate a distinctive Maine aviation story at home with this Bar Harbor Airlines square porcelain fridge magnet. Founded in 1943, the company grew from scenic flights around Bar Harbor into scheduled commuter service connecting regional communities with larger destinations. Its later airline partnerships and changing identities make it a memorable collectible for aviation fans. A small keepsake for the refrigerator or a thoughtful gift, it honors the history of regional air travel in New England.
Founded on October 2, 1943, by brothers Thomas and Joseph Caruso as Bar Harbor Airways, the company began with charter and scenic flights from the Bar Harbor town dock. By 1950 it had established a base at Hancock County–Bar Harbor Airport in Trenton, Maine. Scheduled commuter service began in 1968, first linking Bar Harbor with Bangor and connecting there to Northeast Airlines flights. Direct Boston service followed, and in 1972 the carrier adopted the Bar Harbor Airlines name and expanded to five airports, including service to Quebec City via Portland and Bangor. Its network and fleet grew through the 1970s and 1980s, with aircraft ranging from Cessna and Beech models to turboprops. The airline later operated as Eastern Express and Continental Express under code-share arrangements. In 1987, Texas Air acquired a 50 percent interest and arranged the sale of Provincetown-Boston Airlines to Bar Harbor. The company moved its headquarters from Maine to Houston in 1989. After Eastern’s collapse, operations and aircraft were divided between Eastern and Continental. Bar Harbor ceased flying as Eastern Express in 1991; its northern routes continued as Continental Express, and the airline merged to form ExpressJet that year.
