Bring the spirit of Cape and islands aviation to your ride with Island Airlines. This vanity license plate looks back to the carrier that made the Hyannis to Nantucket connection part of its identity and proudly used the line Nantucket's Community Airline. A standout accent for garage walls, travel-themed spaces, and vehicle display, it salutes a regional airline history that began with early island flying and concluded in 2015.
Island Airlines was a commuter airline headquartered at Barnstable Municipal Airport in Barnstable, Massachusetts. It operated hourly scheduled flights linking Hyannis with Nantucket and used the slogan "Nantucket's Community Airline." Its roots reached to 1930, when former barnstormer Milton "Red" Hersberger developed the first aerial transport to Nantucket with two biplanes under the name Erie Isle Airways. He acquired his first Ford Trimotor in 1932, later expanding the type in the fleet. Following World War II, Hersberger obtained surplus engines for the Trimotors, renamed the operation Sky Tours, and sold it in 1953. The business changed hands again in 1973 and received the Island Airlines name in 1991 when William McGrath assumed ownership. In January 2009, the airline announced a Cessna Grand Caravan for the Hyannis-Nantucket route, later adding three more. Its Ocean Wings Air Charter operation served private-flight customers in the Northeast. Island Airlines and sister company Cape & Islands Air Freight ceased operations on December 11, 2015.
