What Executive Air Services does

Executive Air Services (EAS), operating as EAS Charter and Management, is a private direct aircraft operator — not a broker — headquartered at Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport (FAA Certificate EVXA215K). Founded in 2001 and led by Principal Fabio Alexander, the company operates a diversified 14-aircraft fleet comprising 3 light jets (Beechjet 400A, Nextant 400XTI, Hawker 400XP), 5 midsize jets (including Gulfstream G200), and 6 heavy jets (Gulfstream G-IVSP and G-V variants), providing on-demand worldwide charter services to high-net-worth individuals, business travelers, and leisure clients with 24/7 availability and Jetinsight-integrated online booking.

EAS generates revenue across five streams: aircraft charter (transaction-based, quote-driven pricing), aircraft management (managed services delivering up to 30% overhead reduction through bulk discounts on insurance, fuel, and maintenance), aircraft sales (transaction-based brokerage assistance for buyers and sellers), empty leg flights (discounted repositioning inventory), and private hangar rental (recurring revenue from a 40,000 sf facility including a 16,000 sf private hangar developed in partnership with Sky Harbour). The company holds ARG/US Platinum (1 of 79 holders globally), IS-BAO Stage II (1 of 254 holders globally), and FAA Part 135 certifications, and has logged over 10,200 incident-free flight hours.

The business operates on a direct-to-consumer and enterprise sales model via website, toll-free phone (1.800.579.1694), and email ([email protected]), supplemented by content marketing, social media (Instagram, Facebook), and podcast appearances. The company is privately held, founder/management-owned with no disclosed external investment, and operates as a small boutique operator (~20-26 employees) emphasizing direct client relationships over broker intermediation in a fragmented private aviation market.
