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:
“And ‘tis my faith that every flower
Enjoys the air it breathes.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“We set up a certain aim, and put ourselves of our own will into the power of a certain current. Once having done that, we find ourselves committed to usages and customs which we had not before fully known, but from which we cannot depart without giving up the end which we have chosen. But we have no right, therefore, to claim that we are under the yoke of necessity. We might as well say that the man whom we see struggling vainly in the current of Niagara could not have helped jumping in.”
—Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)
