Cosmopolitan Airlines was an FAR Part 121 Supplemental Air Carrier airline based at Republic Airport in Farmingdale, Long Island, New York, which served both commuter and charter flights. The airline operated from 1978 to 1983, with flights ending in 1980. It flew three Convair 440 planes, which were available for public charters, and Cessna 310s for the scheduled commuter flights to Boston (FAR Part 135 operations). Two were configured as 52-seat passenger carriers, and the third configured for up to 42 passengers.
