Cape Air fleet

Cape Air's fleet consists primarily of the Britten-Norman Islander BN-2A-21, a twin-engine light aircraft well-suited to the airline's regional operations. This aircraft type is efficient for short-haul routes, capable of operating from smaller airports with minimal infrastructure requirements-a key advantage for Cape Air's network serving underserved communities and regional destinations.

With 98 aircraft in total operation across its network, Cape Air operates under Part 135 Commuter rules, which govern the use of smaller aircraft for commercial passenger service. The fleet's composition emphasizes reliability and cost-efficiency on routes where larger regional or mainline jets would be economically impractical, allowing Cape Air to maintain connectivity to 35 cities across the United States and Caribbean.
