Cape Air, one of the biggest independent regional airlines in the U.S., has cut another route, citing a shortage of pilots. The airline, which cancelled a route in Montana last week, will no longer fly from the Providence, Rhode Island, airport to Block Island, a popular vacation destination about 40 miles away. Trish Lorino, a spokesperson for Cape Air, told AVweb this week the airline doesn’t expect to cut any more routes, and has a “robust training program Â… with enough pilots in the pipeline” to keep its airplanes flying.
