Aviation Services, Inc. (a.k.a. Charter Services),
established in 1979, has grown to our present position as
a diversified and uniquely specialized aviation services company.
Capabilities range from ad hoc passenger and cargo air charters,
to comprehensive air charter management for multiple aircraft,
to leased aircraft on an Aircraft, Crew, Insurance and Maintenance
(ACMI) basis. Aircraft range from airliners to executive
jets to turboprops, both internationally and domestically.
CSI uses qualified U.S. Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR)
Part 121/129/135 operators, in accordance to FAR Part 91/121/135
operating standards.
CSI provides air charter transportation for multi-national
corporations, incentives and meetings, athletics and government
agencies. Experience and diversity have given CSI a
distinct advantage in handling complex requirements and the
unique capability to conduct on-demand operations. Several
corporations rely on our resources as part of their emergency
response programs and we continue to conduct personnel evacuations
for these customers worldwide.
To illustrate CSI’s current
day to day tempo, we receive over 2,000 requirements annually
and offer, on average, five aircraft options for every request
received. This requires the development of approximately
10,000 aircraft options annually, which literally span the
chart in terms of aircraft type and capability. Of all
the requirements received, we contract and provide over 20%
of them with aircraft, each of which is supported by a Service
Coordinator or Program Manager providing whatever customer
assistance is necessary.
CSI has demonstrated the capability of leasing, chartering,
and maintaining aircraft of various sizes and types worldwide.
CSI has secured and contracted aircraft on a fully allocated,
ACMI and/or AIM basis for short and long-term requirements.

Since
1983, CSI’s technical services have been providing airlines
with experienced representation in the U.S. Military airlift
market. As the assigned agent for several U.S. airlines,
we represent these air carriers to the U.S. Defense Department’s
Air Mobility Command. This entails handling Civil Reserve
Air Fleet (“CRAF”) issues and coordinating military
commercial airlift requirements within these carriers’
capabilities. This function is vital to the nation’s
wartime airlift capacity through the CRAF program, as well
as ensuring the Department of Defense has access to adequate
supplemental airlift during peacetime. Our familiarity
with the CRAF enables us to locate and contract substitute
aircraft faster and more efficiently than any other organization
in the industry if CRAF aircraft are activated for the military.
CSI can quickly eliminate from consideration all carriers
whose military obligations prevent them from performing a
mission, thereby shortening response time and allowing us
to provide the government better service.
Since 1990, CSI’s services have been an integral part
of the federal government air transportation system, when
awarded our first contract for supplemental aircraft for the
U.S. Marshal’s Service, an agency of the Department
of Justice. Our services have ranged from providing
replacement aircraft during periods of heavy maintenance,
to fulltime management, maintenance and logistics support
of leased aircraft. Today, we continue to work with
and have contracts in place with several agencies such as
the Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation,
Department of Homeland Security, Department of State, Department
of Energy and U.S. Secret Service.
In 2004, CSI became the first air charter management company
to hold a GSA Schedule for both Air Charter and Aircraft Leasing.
Our GSA Schedule offers the government the ability to use
a more efficient and convenient contracting vehicle and we
offer air charter and aircraft leasing services through the
GSA on a full range of aircraft.
