Air East was a commuter airline based at Johnstown–Cambria County Airport, Johnstown, Pennsylvania.
It was established in 1967. On April 26, 1970, Air East inaugurated six daily passenger flights under the Allegheny Commuter brand. [1] In 1974, Air East's commercial certificate was revoked by the FAA. [2]
The Johnstown, Pennsylvania-based Air East appears to be unrelated to the family run airline that operated out of Farmingdale, New York under "Air East" brand from 1982 [3] through the end of 2011, [4] when it merged with Ventura, an airline that remains in operation as of July, 2016. [5]
Yet another commuter airline using the name "Air East" was operating flights between New Orleans and Lafayette, LA in 1970. [6]
The airline operated Beechcraft Model 99, British Aerospace Jetstream 31 commuter turboprop aircraft. [7] [8]
