The airline was founded in 1964 and originally flew in cooperation with Eastern Provincial Airways. The operator’s first aircraft was a Piper Aztec, which was put into service flying to Sydney, Nova Scotia.
During the 1970s, the airline variously took into use Beechcraft Model 18 and Hawker Siddeley HS 748 aircraft. Flights to Miquelon were introduced in 1979 and to Montreal two years later. A Piper Chieftain was bought in that year. ATR 42s were introduced in 1994 and services to Moncton, New Brunswick and St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador were introduced in the following years.
