History

Shuttle America was established in 1995 and began operations on November 12, 1998 [2] as a low-fare commuter airline, headquartered in Windsor Locks, Connecticut, the location of Hartford's Bradley International Airport. Year 1995 ( MCMXCV) was a Common year starting on Sunday.

BDL redirects here For the beer distributor see Brewers' Distributor Ltd Shuttle America's first route was Hartford, Connecticut to Buffalo, New York. Buffalo (ˈbʌfəloʊ is the second largest city in New York State. Shuttle America got much publicity for their launch because of their "super-low $29 fares". Shuttle America's first aircraft was a 50-seat Bombardier Dash 8-311 with leather seats and a very creative and patriotic paint scheme. Shuttle America had rapid growth in its first year, adding more aircraft and destinations.

In 1999, Shuttle America made a controversial move to reach the Boston market. Year 1999 ( MCMXCIX) was a Common year starting on Friday (link will display full 1999 Gregorian calendar) Instead of choosing the busy Logan Airport in East Boston, Shuttle America chose a nearby regional airport, Hanscom Field.

Bedford is a town in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, United States. With free parking, rental cars, and convenience to the I-95 highway, it was promoted as "Hassle-free Hanscom Field".

Buffalo (ˈbʌfəloʊ is the second largest city in New York State. Trenton is the Capital of the US state of New Jersey and the County seat of Mercer County.

It operates high-frequency interisland scheduled services serving 22 destinations in the Caribbean Piedmont Airlines is a Regional airline operating for US Airways Express.
