Quick Pitch

Skyline Airways enables regional air transit throughout Central and Southern Florida including the Bahama Islands while avoiding parking fees, extended travel times to a major airport, and aggravation from TSA.  Additionally, the commuter can depart from any small airfield in his or her community while arriving to the airport only 15 minutes prior to departure time. This is all accomplished while adhering to federal regulations and upholding safety programs within the industry.

Product/Service Details

Approximately 85 million tourists from all over the world visit Florida.  A portion of those tourists do not stay in one destination in Florida, they travel to other regions of the state or to The Bahamas while on the same visit.  Travel aboard Skyline Airways' routes are best suited for those who continue their vacation at multiple destinations in Florida and The Bahamas.

Skyline Airways will utilize a Cessna 421C Golden Eagle to transport it's customers anywhere they want in the service raidus.

Traction & Accomplishments

Skyline Airways has been a registered LLC since March 2013.  For the past year and a half, a master's thesis was completed regarding market research on travel behaviors of Florida tourists and residents.  The information from the market study dictates the operating raidus, route structure, pricing, aircraft choice, and customer service level needed to be successful.  Afterwards, a solid business plan has been built and currently, funding strategies are taking place.

How We're Different

Skyline Airways has a lower overhead due to lower fuel consumption and faster airspeed for a propeller driven aircraft; the Cessna 421C.  Since Skyline is a single pilot owned and operated company, there will not be additional paid employees.  Business performance will dictate the addition of employees.  With just the owner performing operations to generate sales revenue, customer service will remain at a premium to ensure repeat customers and initiate positive word-of-mouth advertising.

Skyline Airways chooses to be located at Pompano Beach Airpark in Pompano Beach, FL.  The most important factor here is no other propeller-driven, passenger-carrying air charter company is based out of this airfield

A unique scheduling method is currently in development that will supplement traditional methods used by most air charter companies.  Mass social media use, smart phone applications, and a functional, easy-to-use website will group passengers together before payment and according to travel preferences.  With a larger group of passengers flying on the same route and still adhering to federal regulation guidelines concerning on demand service, the cost of airfare is reduced drastically when compared to one or two people essentially purchasing time on an aircraft, which is always more expensive.  Most air charters already have a small customer base that have been repeat users, and they have the financial means to continue that way of travel.  Skyline Airways plans to appeal to masses of tourists on a budget that are traveling in the same direction.  Repeat customers will only occur upon their return to Florida, whenever that may be.

Ex Air Force Pilot starting an air charter business 


I received a Bachelor’s of Science from Western Michigan University in Aviation Flight Science in 2003. In addition, I received a Master’s of Science in Aeronautics from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University specializing in Air Operations and Air Safety in 2013. I served as a pilot in the United States Air Force from 2003-2012. During that time, I acquired 812 combat flight hours in Iraq and Afghanistan while flying the E-3 AWACS (Boeing 707) and the MC-12 (King Air 350). I earned the Chief of Staff award for leadership, attended Squadron Officer School, achieved 8 Air Medals, was in the inaugural group of pilots to stand up the MC-12 unit, was the first pilot in Air Force history to re-deploy the MC-12, I have an Airline Transport Pilot’s license, and have a total of 2500 hours in 12 aircraft not including unmanned flight experience. In addition to being an Air Force pilot, I upheld managerial roles in the squadron-level logistics department. I supervised 12 Airmen, and ensured the safe and efficient movement from deployment locations all over the world for 1000+ military members. I am currently out of the Air Force and have started to realize my dream of owning my own business.
