Meridian Air Group
Meridian Air Group was founded in Charlottesville, Virginia in 1997 with just two employees. The company purchased a 1976 Cessna 421C, primarily to support the family travel needs of the owner. Our headquarters was established at the Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport, where today, we’ve been a participating business for over 13 years.
In 1998, Meridian obtained an Air Carrier Certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration Flight Standards District Office in Richmond. In the spring of that year, we started conducting unscheduled, on-demand aircraft charters for the public. Meridian began serving its first aircraft management client in 2000 with the addition of the first Pilatus PC12 aircraft. At the time, only 240 PC12s were operating worldwide. Within two years, we introduced the aircraft to our charter clients, subsequently adding additional aircraft to our fleet each year in 2003 through 2007.
In 2006, Meridian expanded the business interests to include services that support aircraft operations, such as fueling and maintenance. In the fall of that year, we opened a satellite location in the County of Louisa to operate our fixed-base services at Freeman Field; otherwise known as the Louisa County Airport. In 2007, Meridian reached aircraft assets under management in excess of 14 million dollars.
