KentuckySkies was a subsidiary of Pacific Wings founded in 2009.[1] The carrier was offered to fly to the destinations stated below on an Essential Air Service contract. Also travelers can connect to sister carrier Georgia Skies at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. On June 30, 2011, Pacific Wings filed with the United States Department of Transportation a 90-day notice of its intent to terminate service effective September 30, 2011 saying it is "unable to procure counter or gate space at Nashville International Airport on reasonable terms." The DOT prohibited the airline from suspending service until a replacement carrier began service.[2] Eventually a replacement carrier was procured in Cape Air and KentuckySkies ceased operation in early 2012.
