• Cape Air serves over 35 destinations across the U.S. and Caribbean, offering bases in several regions that provide employees with a unique work-life balance.

• Additionally, it serves various cities in Eastern Montana, such as Billings, Sidney, Wolf Point, Glasgow, Glendive, and Havre.

• Since its first flight between Boston and Provincetown in 1989, Cape Air has expanded to offer year-round service to some of the most scenic destinations in the U.S. and the Caribbean. 

• Today, Cape Air operates a fleet of 83 Cessna 402s, 4 Britten-Norman Islanders, and, since 2019, the Tecnam P2012 Traveller. 

• The latter, equipped with Garmin G1000 Nxi avionics and Lycoming piston engines, has added versatility and flexibility to their operations. 

• Serving nearly 40 cities, Cape Air operates up to 525 flights per day during high season and carried over 500,000 passengers last year, making it one of the largest regional airlines in the U.S.

• Cape Air reached an exciting milestone in September 2017 when they announced an order for 102 Tecnam P2012 Travellers, marking the first significant twin-engine clean-sheet design in the aviation industry in 25 years. 

• The P2012 Traveller was introduced to the fleet in September 2019, offering 11 seats, advanced avionics from Garmin’s G1000 Nxi, and two 375 HP Lycoming piston engines. It was designed to be a versatile aircraft, ideal for both efficiency and flexibility. 

• Alongside the P2012, Cape Air also operates the Cessna 402C, which serves as the workhorse of their fleet. The 9-passenger Cessna 402 enables Cape Air to maintain frequent flight schedules to a wide range of destinations. 

• Additionally, Cape Air utilizes the Britten-Norman Islander (BN2), a fixed-gear aircraft perfect for short runways, commonly used for Caribbean routes and summer flights to Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard. 

• These varied aircraft allow Cape Air to effectively serve a diverse set of regional and island routes.

• The benefits offered by Cape Air include a comprehensive Employee Stock Ownership Program (ESOP), matching 401(k), health and dental insurance, and paid leave, holidays, and volunteer time. 

• Employees also receive KCM, CASS, and family pass benefits, along with relocation and uniform allowances, FAA medical reimbursement, and both long and short-term disability coverage. 

• Pilots enjoy the advantage of starting and finishing their day at their base each night, except in Montana, and the airline maintains strong partnerships with major carriers like JetBlue, United, Delta, and American, providing reciprocal travel agreements with most domestic and international airlines. 

Training

• Cape Air is the only piston-powered Part 135 airline with an FAA-approved Aircrew Designated Examiner (ADE) Program, enabling check pilots to issue ATP certificates upon completing a Captain 135 proficiency check.

• Using an FAA Level 6 FSTD, Cape Air's training program prepares pilots for a range of operations, from standard procedures to emergency scenarios.

• Our 135 training incorporates best practices from 121 carriers, including Line Oriented Flight Training (LOFT), Crew Resource Management (CRM), and systems integration.

• Cape Air covers the ATP-CTP course costs for all First Officer-to-Captain upgrades, including wages during training.

Standards

• Cape Air uses a Normal Procedures Handbook for the 402, outlining standard operating procedures for both single and multi-pilot crews, similar to those of 121 carriers.

Pay

• In 2023, the median gross compensation for a first-year and second-year Captain was $89,130 and $106,616, respectively. 

• This includes the minimum guarantee (40 hours weekly), overtime, and incentive pay. 

• Each incentive shift is valued at 150% of the hourly rate, plus a $300 bonus per shift.

• Unlike most airlines, which differentiate pay based on ground and block time, Cape Air pays pilots the same rate for all duty hours, ensuring consistent and predictable income.
