About Us

Twenty-five years ago, our country was battling the effects of years of inflationary pressure, a stagnant economy, and a prime interest rate of eighteen percent. Conditions were less than optimal for American business and many industries were struggling to survive. It wasn’t a great time for a start-up charter company, with a sole Cessna 172, to be born.

Our economy improved thanks to President Reagan's now famous supply-side theory - cutting taxes while increasing defense spending to battle the evil empire of the Soviet Union, both to the detriment of the budget. The economy came back with a vengeance in the mid 1980's and our start-up charter company, woefully under-capitalized from inception, was able to make ends meet and slowly grow its fleet from the Cessna 172 to a Beech Baron to Piper Navajos and then to King Airs and Learjets. The leap from Learjets in the eighties to Hawkers, Falcons and Gulfstreams in the nineties was delayed by the first Gulf War, and two or three economic downturns.

The company continued to grind out an existence, never taking anything for granted, always knowing that we had to "earn our wings every day". In the mid nineties, as corporate jets and fractional shares became part of the fabric of not only business travel but personal travel as well, our little company flourished by embracing what we had from day one - hard work, attention to detail, and a strong emphasis on meeting the needs of our customers.

In 2001, Executive Fliteways, Inc. marked its 20 years of successful operations with the recent inauguration of a new facility at Long Island MacArthur Airport in Ronkonkoma, N.Y. The new 23,000 square-foot operations facility is capable of accommodating up to six jet aircraft simultaneously. It features a total hangar area of 17,000 square feet and an additional 6000 square feet for office space. It joins an original facility - featuring 21,000 square feet of hangar space and specialty shops - now dedicated to functional testing, component repair and aircraft maintenance. In 2003, Executive Fliteways announced the initiation of operations from Monterey, California. With operations on both west and east coasts, the company continued to grow successful.

Today, as one of the largest independently owned and operated charter companies in the country with fifteen jet aircraft under management and one hundred employees (including two of the founders), we cannot overstate the significance of hard work and persistence in a capitalist democracy that exists no where but in this great country.

We thank all of our loyal customers and employees.
