Accidents and incidents
![](../I/m/Beechcraft_Baron_58.jpg)
Air New England has a clean service record during revenue passenger service, however on 12 July 2018, an Air New England Baron 58 (Registration No.N263AC) on a non-commercial training flight made a wheels-up landing at Portland International Jetport. While there were no injuries, and the aircraft did not catch fire, the incident did result in a 90 minute closure of the airport causing many flights to either be delayed, diverted to other airports, or cancelled while the aircraft was removed from the airfield and a check was done of the runway.[4][6][7][8][9]
