[edit] Incidents and accidents
On 13 January 2005, an AirNow cargo flight, operated by an Embraer Bandeirante, had left Bangor, Maine for Manchester, New Hampshire, but had to divert because of marginal weather. Keene-Dillant-Hopkins Airport was eventually chosen rather than the planned alternative of Burlington. Having been cleared for an ILS approach to runway 02, the aircraft crashed on the runway and burned. The single crew member on board was killed. The NTSB has not yet found any cause and noted the weather was not below minimums for the approach. The left engine showed evidence of being at high power at the time of the impact. [1]

The AirNow fleet includes the following aircraft (at August 2006):
- 13 Embraer EMB-110P1 Bandeirante
