Air East was a commuter airline based at Johnstown–Cambria County Airport, Johnstown, Pennsylvania.
On April 26, 1970, Air East inaugurated six daily passenger flights under the Allegheny Commuter brand.
[2] The Johnstown, Pennsylvania-based Air East appears to be unrelated to the family run airline that operated out of Farmingdale, New York under "Air East" brand from 1982[3] through the end of 2011,[4] when it merged with Ventura, an airline that remains in operation as of July, 2016.
