Accidents and incidents
On 12 July 2018, an Air New England Baron 58 (Registration No.N263AC) on a non-commercial training flight made a wheels-up landing at Portland International Jetport. While there were no injuries, and the aircraft did not catch fire, the incident did result in a 90-minute closure of the airport causing many flights to either be delayed, diverted to other airports, or cancelled while the aircraft was removed from the airfield and a check was done of the runway.[4][6][7][8][9]
On 19 April 2022, an Air New England Baron 58 (Registration No.N100JP) flying under the company's Part 91 certificate struck multiple runway edge lights during its takeoff roll resulting in damage to both propellers. This incident did not result in any injuries.[10]
