City Express (French: Cité Express), also known as Air Atonabee Ltd., was an Ontario, Canada based airline that operated passenger service in eastern Canada and the northeastern United States from 1971 to 1991.
[edit] History
City Express was founded by Joseph Csumrik in 1971 as Otonabee Airways based in Peterborough, Ontario. It began scheduled service in 1975. In 1980 the company was renamed to Air Atonabee Ltd.[2][3]
In 1984, Air Atonabee was acquired by Victor Pappalardo and reorganized into City Express. The airline relocated its base to Toronto Island Airport (now Toronto City Centre Airport) (YTV) where it began STOL service. Destinations included Montreal, Ottawa, Quebec City, New York/Newark, and Detroit. City Express ceased operations in February 1991.[1][2][4]
