At Ameriflight we have built our reputation and a satisfied customer base on an unwavering commitment to service. Our large fleet makes Ameriflight the largest cargo airline in the country operating under Part 135 of the Federal Aviation Regulations. Our fleet of Learjet 35s, Fairchild Metro IIIs and Expediters, Beech 99s and 1900s, Cessna 402s, Piper Chieftains/Navajos and Lances assures an unparalleled ability to respond to our customers' needs. Our leadership role extends beyond fleet size and area served; our goal is to set an FAR 135 air cargo benchmark for best service, reliability, and value for our customers while maintaining excellent employee working conditions, benefits, and safety. The following is a brief description of the services Ameriflight provides:
One facet of our business provides a network of flights to transport checks and other documents between small community branch banks and computer processing centers in large cities. While we perform this service in other areas, the majority of the branch bank flying operates the western United States.
Flying outbound from Ameriflight bases on weekday mornings (and on limited weekends) they return after banking hours in the evening. As a complement to the daytime branch banking business, Ameriflight provides service five nights per week up and down the West Coast for financial and courier customers. Shuttling between Burbank, Oakland,, Portland, Seattle, Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, and Phoenix with Beech 99's, 1900's and Fairchild Metro IIIs, we move over 75,000 pounds of freight a day.
In conjunction four nights a week we also provide service to the East Coast to Columbus, OH and Teterboro, NJ, and then continuing to Atlanta and back across the country via Dallas and Phoenix. A large portion of Ameriflight’s daily activity provides small package feeder aircraft for overnight parcel carriers. Every morning our airplanes meet our customer’s large cargo jet freighters at distribution hubs around the country and load next-day-delivery packages for small communities where limited volume or lack of facilities precludes the use of a large aircraft.
