Colonial Airlines was a Canadian airline from the 1940s and 1950s with bases in Montreal and at LaGuardia Airport (LGA) in New York City. It was formerly known as well as Canadian Colonial Airways and Colonial Airways before becoming Colonial Airlines.[citation needed]

By 1956, Colonial's executive offices were on Park Avenue in New York City and it was flying DC-3 and DC-4 aircraft in scheduled service, including five daily nonstop DC-4 flights between LGA and Montreal. It also operated a nonstop DC-4 flight departing LGA at 11 am EST to Bermuda, arriving at Kindley Field 3:35 pm AST, with a "full course hot meal" served en route, its timetables advertised.[1] It also offered a DC-3 puddle jumper flight from LGA making an 11:50 am Monday-Friday flag stop at Poughkeepsie's Dutchess County Airport en route to Montreal and Ottawa, Canada, with intermediate stops at Albany, New York, Rutland, Vermont, and Burlington, Vermont.[1]

The airline operated until 1956, when it was acquired by Eastern Air Lines. A few years following the merger, many of the airline's more rural destinations were stopped.
