The proposed business of the corporation was a many-hundred word comprehensive description of apparently every type of aviation-related business, covering everything from gliders to helicopters (a dozen years before the first mass-produced helicopter) to dirigibles and rocketships, including manufacturing, leasing, operating, financing, fueling, sales and more.

[3] In June 1946, the CAB certificated Wiggins as a local service carrier to fly several passenger routes between Boston and Albany.

After Wiggins experimented with several types, it was found that the four-passenger Cessna T-50 was able to safely operate into the rudimentary airports available and climb fast enough to scale mountainous territory.

Since passenger revenue was extremely low, the postal subsidy (by which all local service carriers were then supported) was unacceptably high per pound of mail.

In the same decision, it allowed that there was intrinsic demand from Albany to Boston, just not the way Wiggins was flying, and handed a route between the two to Mohawk Airlines.

[4] Wiggins and the states of New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont plus several New England cities asked for reconsideration, but in July 1953 the Board affirmed its decision.

In February of 2024, Wiggins Airways flew its final FedEx revenue run, signaling the separation of the two companies.

The final C208 was flown out to Akron Canton Airport on March 13, 2024, ending the connection between FedEx and Wiggins Airways.
