Nations Air was a new start up airline in the United States that began operating in 1995^[1] and ended in 1999.

Nations Air began as a passenger airline with three Boeing 737-200 jetliners. Scheduled service was operated between Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Boston.

The demise of scheduled service for Nations Air occurred after the Valu-jet crash in the Florida Everglades created a huge backlash against small start-up carriers and the perception that they were unsafe from a standpoint of maintenance and training. Nations Air's CEO Mark McDonald discontinued scheduled service and, instead, used his 737's to service Atlantic City and Gulfport/Biloxi hotel and casino markets.

Nations Air Express ceased operations in 1999.

Service in 1995

According to the December 1, 1995 Nations Air system timetable, scheduled service was being operated on a linear Boston (BOS)-Philadelphia (PHL)-Pittsburgh (PIT) routing with several flights being operated each day although none of these flights was operated on daily basis. Fares were as low as $39 one way BOS-PHL and PHL-PIT.^[2]

Service in 1999

According to the June 1, 1999 Official Airline Guide (OAG), the airline was flying scheduled nonstop service between Gulfport, MS (GPT) and Atlanta (ATL) four times a week.^[3]
