Wiggins Airways
US passenger airline (1949–1953), now a cargo carrier / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wiggins Airways is a long-lived American aviation company that pursued many lines of business during its existence, including:
- fixed base operator
- local service carrier based in Massachusetts, providing scheduled airline service 1949–1953, certificated by the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB), the now defunct Federal agency that, at the time, tightly regulated almost all airline service in the United States
- cargo airline based in Manchester, New Hampshire, United States, operating from Manchester–Boston Regional Airport. In 2014 it became a subsidiary of Ameriflight, and as of June 1, 2024, Wiggins is transitioning to becoming an operating base of Ameriflight, apparently merging into its parent.
