GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Celebrate the independent carrier that connected Cape Cod with a wider world of regional travel. Founded in Provincetown in 1949, Provincetown-Boston Airlines began with a Cessna Bobcat flying between Provincetown and Boston, then grew into a network reaching New England and Florida. Its changing fleet and successor-era history make the PBA name a distinctive choice for travelers and aviation collectors. This luggage tag brings that commuter-airline story along on your next journey and recalls routes whose legacy continued beyond the airline itself.
Founded by John C. Van Arsdale in Provincetown, Massachusetts, on November 30, 1949, Provincetown-Boston Airlines began with flights between Provincetown and Boston. It succeeded the Cape Cod Flying Service and started with a Cessna Bobcat. In 1958, it took over and merged with Naples Airlines, helping build a network across New England and Florida. The airline added larger aircraft over time, including DC-3s, Martin 4-0-4s, Embraer Bandeirantes and NAMC YS-11s, and became the largest U.S. commuter airline before a 1984 FAA grounding and subsequent bankruptcy. People Express acquired it in 1986; People Express merged with Continental Airlines in 1987. PBA routes were subsequently operated under Continental Express and Eastern Express branding, while PBA consolidated with Bar Harbor Airlines in 1988. The Provincetown-Boston route passed briefly to PAC Air and then to Cape Air in 1989. Continental later consolidated commuter operations under the Continental Express name. Former PBA routes and staff carried parts of its regional-airline history forward, although the PBA name and logo disappeared.
