Based at Barnstable Municipal Airport, the carrier became a familiar link between Hyannis and Nantucket after taking the Island Airlines name in 1991. This metal business card holder celebrates an airline remembered for regional service, island connections, and a history that reached back to the earliest Nantucket air transport. A smart desk companion for aviation fans and Cape business travelers.

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.
