Cape Air is a regional American airline founded in 1989 and headquartered in Hyannis, Massachusetts. It specializes in providing essential air service to underserved and small communities, particularly in New England, the Caribbean, and the Great Plains, often operating as the sole air link for many remote destinations.
The airline is known for its fleet of small turboprop and piston aircraft, operating thousands of flights weekly across its network. Cape Air frequently partners with major carriers such as American Airlines and United Airlines, offering interline agreements that allow passengers to connect seamlessly to larger hub airports.

The airline has grown steadily over the decades and remains one of the largest independently owned regional airlines in the United States.
