Mall Airways was an American regional airline which operated throughout the northeastern United States and eastern Canada from 1973 to 1989. The carrier operated a mixed fleet of Beechcraft 1900, Piper Navajo Chieftains, Beech 99 Airliners, and also occasionally utilized a Beech King Air 90 as a back-up aircraft. The airline was based in Albany, New York, and was acquired by Business Express Airlines in September, 1989.[1] Business Express retained both BE1900C, N15394 and N15503.
In 1988, the airline was forced to suspend its ground operations by the Federal Aviation Administration after the FAA found that the airline had unkept operations records.[2] NTSB records suggest that this was in relation to fraudulent pilot training records.[3]
