History

The airline was established and started operations in 1978 and acquired the freight operations of CCAir on 2 January 1990. It was in turn bought by a group of investors led by The Acker Group in December 1993. In 2005, Martinaire acquired fellow package carrier Mid Atlantic Aviation. In 2006, Martinaire acquired Superior Aviation of Lansing, Michigan. In 2011 Martinaire began acquiring Beechcraft 1900 aircraft to replace the Fairchild Metroliner, which was completed by mid-2012. The Beech 1900 aircraft were later removed and sold to Alpine Air of Utah. As of January, 2013, Martinaire is the second-largest single feeder carrier in the country, flying overnight services for UPS and DHL.
