history
USA 3000 Airlines was founded in December 2001 by the tour operator Apple Vacations . It served from several airports in the northeastern United States, including Chicago-O'Hare and Cleveland from vacation destinations in Mexico and the Caribbean . For example, Cancun and Punta Cana were approached . From November 2011, Apple Vacations switched the travel offer to other airlines such as Frontier Airlines . As a result of this restructuring, the decision to close the flight subsidiary was resolved, with the result that the remaining operations were finally discontinued on January 30, 2012 as planned.

Before Apple Vacations withdrew, the airline had up to twelve aircraft, most recently there were only two Airbus A320-200s with an average age of 9.8 years:
