Foundation
Until March 2012, Air Canada was the lone airline serving all airports in Kingston and Boyce. 25 Airplanes of the airline were solely used for airline traffic from and to Kingston. On March 17, 2012, Air Canada decided to split up the Kingston based planes into a new airline, flying the old original Canadian Airlines logo at first but later switching to the Red Goose on black ground. In February 2015, the airline was rebranded, changing the name to Mainland Air. In early 2018, the red Goose on black ground logo was replaced by a black Orca on a Maroon ground, a livery introduced with the delivery of the first A350.

 * One A330-300 (KB442L ) promoting and celebrating 75 years of Marriage Equality in Kingston and Boyce

Logojet controversy
In early 2017, marriage equality was a big issue throughout the Alliance, with Carolina banning any form of Marriage Equality following a referendum. Coincidentally, Mainland Air issued a logojet celebrating the 75 years of Marriage Equality in K&B unbeknownst to the outcome of the referendum that would stage weeks later. As a consequence to the outcome however, Mainland Air decided to use the logojet primarily on routes to Atlanta and Miami. The Usage of said logojet was met with much criticism from Carolinian officials and caused an uproar in the national press, however no other actions were taken.
