Give the refrigerator, locker, or office board a reminder of Nantucket's local air-service past. This Island Airlines square porcelain fridge magnet celebrates the commuter airline based at Barnstable Municipal Airport, known for its Hyannis-to-Nantucket flights and community-focused identity. The name represents the final chapter of a much older operation whose roots reached back to 1930 aerial transport. It is a compact keepsake for Cape visitors, island residents, aviation collectors, and anyone who remembers regional airline travel before the 2015 closure.
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.
