AD Airlines — The Future of Regional Air Mobility
An integrated operational and maintenance platform supporting the next generation of electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft across New England and beyond.
Built for the eVTOL Era
Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing aircraft are transforming the future of transportation—creating new opportunities for passenger mobility, cargo logistics, emergency response, and regional connectivity.
AD Airlines is Aquiline Drones’ emerging aviation operations platform built to support the rapidly expanding eVTOL market. Powered by FAA Part 135 and Part 145 certifications, AD Airlines combines flight operations, maintenance, repair, overhaul, training, and infrastructure support into a unified aviation ecosystem designed for scalable regional deployment.
Located at Hartford-Brainard Airport in Connecticut, AD Airlines is strategically positioned between New York and Boston, making it an ideal regional hub for future air mobility operations throughout the Northeast corridor.
Critical gateways to the broader Northeast economy
By revitalizing the historic Hangar 1 at Hartford-Brainard Airport as its primary operations base, AD Airlines leverages existing aviation infrastructure to provide a carbon-free alternative to the chronic congestion of the I-95 and I-91 corridors.
The network is meticulously designed to serve both the economic and leisure pillars of the region. Coastal urban hubs including New Haven, Bridgeport, Fairfield, Norwalk, Stamford, and Greenwich are linked via rapid aerial transit, providing seamless connections to Metro-North and local innovation districts. Simultaneously, the network extends to premier destinations such as Foxwoods, Mohegan Sun, and Mystic Seaport, ensuring that Connecticut’s tourism and entertainment sectors are accessible within minutes rather than hours.
The initiative also includes the Downtown NYC Skyport and Springfield, MA, creating a seamless interstate corridor that redefines executive travel and regional commerce.
These routes eliminate the traditional barriers of tunnel traffic and rail transfers, offering a sophisticated air link between the Connecticut capital and the global financial center of Manhattan and other regional hotspots.

Future Vision for Hartford Brainard Airport
Positioned at the nexus of New England’s commerce, Hartford-Brainard is the ideal foundation for a premier eVTOL hub. Its strategic location, just minutes from the State Capitol and the downtown insurance district, allows for a seamless transition from the sky to the boardroom.
By repurposing this historic airfield, we eliminate the need for new, invasive infrastructure while providing a carbon-free alternative to the congestion of I-91 and I-84. Brainard serves as the primary engine for the entire Connecticut flight corridor, connecting the capital to the shoreline and NYC with unprecedented speed.
This revitalization doesn’t just preserve a local landmark; it transforms Hartford into the epicenter of the next generation of flight.
