Kalitta Charters, LLC, has acquired operational assets of U.S.-based charter service firm AirNet, and will provide financial and operational backing for the company.
Based primarily in Columbus and St. Louis, AirNet provides scheduled and on-demand cargo charter services, avionic installations and aircraft maintenance. AirNet has a fleet of Beechcraft Barons and Bombardier Learjets.
AirNet also offers specialized services for transporting nuclear materials for radiopharmaceutical uses. The company is one of a few carriers granted special permits from the U.S. Department of Transportation and Transport Canada to provide the highest level of radiopharmaceutical cargo charter service.
The carrier also provides cargo charter services for industries that require immediate turnaround time and specialized handling, such as aircraft-on-ground parts, life sciences materials, and dangerous and security-sensitive goods.
Kalitta, owned and operated by Doug Kalitta, provides executive charters, air ambulance service, and air cargo service, and is also a Department of Defense-approved air carrier.
