Cape Air Named to "Best Small Airlines" List

The Smarter Travel website picks Cape Air for its short list of "Best Small Airlines in North America."

Cape Air has been named one of eight "Best Small Airlines in North America" by the Smarter Travel website.

Smarter Travel writer Ed Perkins praises the Vineyard-serving airline, which also does business as Nantucket Air, for finding "not one but five different niches," including the Northeast; Puerto Rico to nearby islands; Fort Myers to Key West, Fla.; St. Louis to regional Midwestern cities and the Guam-Saipan-Rota route.

The other small airlines Perkins picked, listed in alphabetical order:
