The other flight departs Bangor each day, heading to a different airport and utilizing a different aircraft type. Identify the two ME-NY routes, the airline serving them and the aircraft type employed on each route.

Okay, even though I don't remember Continental with too many tags on their Newark feeders, let’s try an ATR-42 from PWM to Albany (ALB), and DL with the near-ubiquitous MD-80 from BGR to Islip MacArthur (ISP)

This question got its start when I stumbled across a flight out of Maine to what I considered an odd city for a nonstop from Maine. Thereafter I commenced a thorough perusal of the schedules and was surprised to see that the New York airports served did not include any of the big three New York City metropolitan area airports.

In any event, you are correct about the Portland (PWM) to Albany (ALB) route, however we're looking for a different airline and a different aircraft - the same type for both flights.

Delta did indeed utilize the MD80 (or was it an MD88?!) for its flight out of Bangor, but the destination was not Islip / MacArthur.
