LEWISTON, Maine --- The International Motorcoach Group (IMG) recently added NorthEast Charter and Tour, Co. to its North American network, which consists of 56 companies around the U.S. and Canada. NorthEast Charter joins IMG’s Cyr Bus Lines in serving Maine and surrounding areas.
Founded in 1999, as a company taking skiers from Portland to Sunday River, NorthEast Charter under the leadership of owner Scott Riccio has grown to a fleet of 26 motorcoaches plus 28 school buses, two trolleys, and other smaller vehicles, to become a significant charter operator in the New England region. NorthEast Charter is based in Lewiston, Maine with other locations around the state in Lincolnville, Winthrop, and Kennebunk.
"I am looking forward to having NorthEast Charter becoming part of the IMG network and the opportunity of associating with the staff and IMG members across the country," Riccio said. "IMG offers a multitude of products, training, and services to its members. We are looking forward to using each and every IMG benefit within our company."
IMG’s President Bronwyn Wilson added: “We are delighted to have NorthEast Charter join IMG and expand our visibility in the Maine and New England region. The team at NorthEast Charter have an enthusiasm and commitment to excellence in motorcoach transportation that will enhance the IMG network.”
