More than 37 years ago, Rollin King and Herb Kelleher got together and decided to start a different kind of airline. They began with one simple notion: If you get your passengers to their destinations when they want to get there, on time, at the lowest possible fares, and make darn sure they have a good time doing it, people will fly your airline. And you know what? They were right.What began as a small Texas airline has grown to become one of the largest airlines in America. Today, Southwest Airlines flies over 104 million passengers a year to 64 great cities all across the country, and we do it more than 3,400 times a day.

Avstar Aviation Ltd., was established to provide charter corporate aircraft charter, executive ground transportationservices and ground transportation for corporations demanding a high level of service and commitment. Several of our clients never chartered an aircraft and probably never will.
Avstar is not solely an aircraft charter company, but also provides many of our clients with limousines, sedans, or executive vans, to meet the demands of their schedules. Whether arriving on a private aircraft or commercially, we can provide you with ground service nationwide. Chartering- is an alternative that allows a company to make its own itinerary, in order to keep up with a hectic schedule. Many companies have found it necessary to evaluate the cost of chartering aircraft versus commercial costs. That is where Avstar can help. We provide our clients with the aircraft that best suits their needs, while keeping cost within reason.
