Air Niagara was an airline based in the New York side of the Niagara Falls. It was one of the many airlines that started flying after the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 in the United States.
Air Niagara offered jet flights from Niagara Falls International Airport, hoping that tourism to their home region would propel the airline to profitability.
The only airline to provide jet flights to that airport from 1980 to 1984, Air Niagara used two Boeing 727s to cover their only route, from Niagara Falls to Newark, New Jersey. The airline's 727s had been delivered to Eastern in 1964 (both airplanes ended up being broken apart in Mexico in 1994).
Air Niagara ceased operating in 1984.
Famous quotes containing the words air and/or niagara:
“Speak the speech, I pray you, as I pronounced it to you—trippingly on the tongue; but if you mouth it, as many of your players do, I had as lief the town-crier spoke my lines. Nor do not saw the air too much with your hand, thus, but use all gently; for in the very torrent, tempest, and as I may say, the whirlwind of your passion, you must acquire and beget a temperance that may give it smoothness.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“From a drop of water a logician could infer the possibility of an Atlantic or a Niagara without having seen or heard of one or the other.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
