Carry a small piece of Cape aviation history wherever the next trip leads. This Island Airlines luggage tag honors the Hyannis-to-Nantucket commuter service known as Nantucket's Community Airline. The design connects the 1991 Island Airlines era to a much longer story that began with early aerial transport in 1930 and continued through decades of local flying. A fitting travel accessory for Nantucket regulars, aviation collectors, and fans of New England air routes.
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.
