CSI on the receiving end of government contracts
CSI currently has a fleet of Beechcraft King Airs and Beechcraft 1900s, and both models are very popular in their respective operational spaces. Its medical flights are on the up, and it has also been a Bahamas regular.
Teamwork makes the dream work at CSI.

This year has been a strong one for CSI Aviation, an FAA Part 135 air carrier with an ARGUS gold rating and NAAMTA certification for medical flight services. The Albuquerque, New Mexico headquartered organisation has broken records for its medical flight services, allowing its operation to grow increasing mission diversity. “We have renewed and won multiple government service contracts that require proven experience in aviation management and the use of our organic fleet of fixed wing aircraft,” comments executive VP Tommy Dunn.

CSI currently has a fleet of Beechcraft King Airs and Beechcraft 1900s. Both models are very popular in their respective operational spaces. “Our King Airs are predominantly used for our medical flight missions while our 1900s are used for our government contract requirements and commercial air charter,” Dunn goes on. “We receive missions daily through our highly-trained 24/7/365 dispatch centre. On the medical side, we have flown all types of patients, to include COVID patients. Our DOD and government contracts allow us to fly DOD personnel daily. The commercial side of the house has coordinated flights to St. Kitts and daily trips to various islands in the Bahamas.”

The 43-year-old company supports aviation requirements for air charter services, medical flight services and aviation programme management. Its experience has enabled it to excel throughout the pandemic and adapt procedures, equipment and training efficiently and effectively. “While continuing to support all aviation requirements for our government contracts, we’ve been able to supply much needed medical flight services across the country,” Dunn explains. “CSI Aviation will continue to grow our operation and provide a safe and reliable service to all of our customers as a global aviation company providing diverse and complex solutions to commercial, group and private individuals, medical patients and government.”
