History

In the year 2000, preliminary discussions began at Apple Vacations to outline the organization and launch of an airline. This airline, a sister company to Apple Vacations, would eventually become USA3000 Airlines. Over the course of the following months, preparations escalated, and on December 21, 2001, the airline was officially certified as a FAA part 121 operator. At the time, USA3000 Airlines exclusively operated charter flights, from Philadelphia, Newark, Hartford, and Columbus, with just two aircraft. A third aircraft was added to the fleet in May 2002 and based in Chicago O’Hare Airport. USA3000’s first destinations were Cancun and Punta Cana. The inaugural flight on December 28, 2001, flew from PHL to CUN. Though flights started to both of these destinations solely as charter service, the airline began offering scheduled air service in 2002. Also in 2002, USA3000 began service to Florida, expanding service to Fort Myers. St. Petersburg, and Fort Lauderdale stations opened in 2003. The origin of the company name is unknown and has never been publicly discussed, although it was likely derived from the now-defunct Canada 3000 Airlines.
