Cape Air officially cut the ribbon Wednesday inaugurating the airline's newest passenger route serving Boston's Logan International Airport.

The new service actually began flying Nov. 1 between Boston and the Knox County Regional Airport in Owls Head.

The company's Owls Head to Boston flight was one of two new routes launched by Cape Air in the Northeast. The other route provides service between Boston and Lebanon, N.H.

"We're starting out with three flights a day," Cape Air founder and CEO Dan Wolf told a gathering at the former MBNA hangar at Owls Head. "That will change seasonally up to five daily flights."

Wolf was joined on the runway next to one of his company's fleet of nine-passenger Cessna 402 aircraft by Rockland Interim City Manager Terry Pinto, Rockland City Councilor and legislative assistant to U.S. Sen. Olympia Snowe Deb McNeil, Penobscot Bay Regional Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Bob Hastings, and legislative assistant to U.S. Sen. Susan Collins Bill Card.

The U.S. Department of Transportation in August selected Cape Air to replace Colgan Air as the scheduled commercial air carrier providing low-fare flights between Boston and Owls Head.
