New projects in the pipeline
Following their acquisition by Stifel in 2004, Cape Air Flights continued to expand their service with new routes on both sides of Massachusetts.

While all flights are still operated by Cessna 402 aircrafts (soon to be replaced with updated versions), they have announced plans for Boeing 737-800 airliners over time.
