Operations

Air New England primarily operates point-to-point charter air service[3] in the Greater New England area with operational bases in Portsmouth, NH, and Auburn, ME.[1] In addition to private charters, Air New England offers a service that they market as "shared charter service" where they put customers seeking a more economical option in touch with customers who have already chartered a flight in order to share the cost burden.[3]

During the summer season, Air New England operates near-daily service between New York City, Boston, and destinations in Maine.[3][4]

Accidents and incidents
A Baron 58 similar to those flown by Air New England

Air New England has a clean service record during revenue passenger service, however on 12 July 2018, an Air New England Baron 58 (Registration No.N263AC) on a non-commercial training flight made a wheels-up landing at Portland International Jetport. While there were no injuries, and the aircraft did not catch fire, the incident did result in a 90 minute closure of the airport causing many flights to either be delayed, diverted to other airports, or cancelled while the aircraft was removed from the airfield and a check was done of the runway.[4][6][7][8][9]
