History
Ultimate Air Shuttle started operations in 2009 shortly after the merger of Delta Air Lines and Northwest Airlines in an attempt to serve destinations on a time driven basis. The airline launched with flights to New York and soon expanded to Chicago in 2010. In 2012, Detroit and Washington D.C were added as destinations, but the Detroit route was discontinued later that year and the Washington D.C. route was switched to Charlotte in 2013.
On May 12, 2015, Ultimate Air Shuttle announced that it would start flying seasonal service to Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, Westhampton Beach, New York, and from Morristown, New Jersey. After a few months of service, the Westhampton Beach destination was cancelled due to a lack of demand. The airline has expressed interest in future markets such as Indianapolis, Memphis, and Nashville, however, they have yet to be announced as actually starting. In October 2015, Ultimate began service to Cleveland, while additionally announcing that it will add flights to Chicago Executive Airport beginning in 2016. Also, flights to DeKalb-Peachtree Airport (Atlanta) and Nashville International Airport were indicated as the next cities with service to be added in the coming year. In May 2016, Ultimate Air Shuttle announced it would move its CVG flights to LUK in order to add an extra daily flight to Chicago-MDW and New York-MMU, however planned flights to TEB have been delayed.
In January 2017, Ultimate Air Shuttle announced that is plans to launch flights from Lunken to DeKalb-Peachtree Airport (Atlanta).
