1) What sets your operation apart from the competition?

Our safety ratings are one thing that really sets us apart.  We have one of the safest rated private fleets in the nation with a flawless safety record spanning over 20 years.   Sun Air Jets possesses all four of the major safety audit standards in the air charter industry:  IS/BAO Stage 3, WYVERN’S Wingman Pro, ARG/US Platinum, and the Air Charter Safety Foundation (ACSF), an exclusive achievement held only by only a very few charter operators. Our transparency as a company is another distinguishing point. Gaining and holding our client’s trust is our mission every day.  Nothing else really matters.

2) How would you describe your fleet or flagship aircraft?

From midsize 8 seat domestic aircraft, to coast-to-coast super-mid and large cabin, to international ultra-long range, and soon a super-premium 19-seat VIP airliner; Our fleet offers a wide range of private jets and luxury features to fit the needs of our clients.

3)  What does the future look like for your company?  

The future has never looked brighter or greener for Sun Air Jets!  We have recently seen and continue to see incredible growth and new opportunities every day.  We will continue to grow and expand while keeping our relationships with our clients first in mind. As a business looking toward the future, Sun Air Jets realizes that responsible private jet operators have a duty to do all they can to reduce their impact on our environment. We are proud to state that we are taking steps to ensure that we are as green and environmentally considerate as possible.

4) How did you get into aviation? 

Sun Air Jets was born out of necessity.  An aircraft owner who owned two jet aircraft was seeking an aircraft management company who could provide the high level of service, integrity, and transparency that he desired.  He eventually decided to found his own aviation services company to meet those needs.  Those concepts remain part of our mission statement today.

5) What is your most popular itinerary/destination? 

One of our most popular trips these days is LA-NY.

6) Fun stories or narrative to share:

The title of our story would be “Build it and they will come!”.  Camarillo Airport was a sleepy agrarian airport with no based jet aircraft or jet services when we started construction in the year 2000. After building over 100,000 sq. ft. of hangar space in Camarillo, Sun Air Jets has now also captured 100,000 sq. ft. of hangar space in Van Nuys. All of our success comes from very humble beginnings that help us to remember the things that matter the most.

7)  What is your #1 travel tip for charter travelers?  

In these days of unprecedented post-Covid travel popularity, our most important advice is to plan far enough ahead and to be flexible.  And, don’t forget to have fun!
