KaiserAir

KaiserAir grew out of the flight department of industrialist Henry J. Kaiser. The flight department was formed in 1946 to organize the transport requirements of the Kaiser group of companies. failed, KaiserAir acquired its first large passenger jet, a Boeing 737-700 and took on the service itself. It initially flew under the certificate of Miami Air International, but in 2011 the company obtained a certificate of their own becoming the first new airline on the Oakland Airport in over 50 years. KaiserAir has since acquired four Boeing 737s. KaiserAir's past clients have included former U.S. Presidents, royalty, celebrities, and Fortune 500 executives. KaiserAir's Boeing 737-500 was chartered for the Joe Biden 2020 Presidential Campaign. == Operations ==
