Raise a glass to Island Airlines, Nantucket's Community Airline and a memorable chapter in Cape aviation. This pint glass celebrates the long local air-service story that began with Erie Isle Airways in 1930, continued as Sky Tours, and flew on under the Island Airlines name from Hyannis to Nantucket. A fitting keepsake for collectors of regional airlines, island travel, and the route’s enduring aviation heritage.
Island Airlines was a commuter airline headquartered at Barnstable Municipal Airport in Barnstable, Massachusetts, operating hourly scheduled service between Hyannis and Nantucket. Its roots reached back to 1930, when former Chicago barnstormer Milton "Red" Hersberger developed the first aerial transport to Nantucket with two biplanes under the name Erie Isle Airways. In 1932, he acquired a Ford Trimotor, beginning a larger Trimotor fleet that supported the operation. Following World War II, surplus engines purchased from the United States government were used in those aircraft. Hersberger renamed the airline Sky Tours and sold it in 1953; the business changed hands again in 1973. William McGrath assumed ownership in 1991, when the operation received the Island Airlines name. The company used the slogan "Nantucket's Community Airline." In 2009, it added a Cessna Grand Caravan to the Hyannis-Nantucket route, later adding three more. Island Airlines and its sister freight company ceased operations on December 11, 2015.

A sturdy 16oz pint glass that brings a little roadhouse spirit to everyday pours. The clear tempered glass showcases whatever you fill it with — amber beer, cold brew, or fresh juice — while a bold vintage-inspired script wraps the side for a subtle, nostalgic touch. It feels solid in the hand, resists everyday wear, and pairs easily with bar carts, kitchen counters, or a laid-back backyard table. Wash gently by hand to keep the lettering sharp and the glass crystal-clear. Built from tempered materials and assembled in the USA, this glass fits into evenings spent swapping stories, weekend morning routines, or those slow, quiet moments when a simple drink matters.
