The bimonthly news publication for aviation professionals.
Jet Logistics, a specialised FAA Part 135 air carrier focused on air medical, government contracting and special-mission aviation, has launched its new website alongside its expanded 2026 business development initiatives. The announcement coincides with the 15th anniversary of the company's AeroMedOPS and GovOPS divisions, reinforcing Jet Logistics' long-standing leadership across three core charter aviation segments, namely air ambulance and donor organ transport, government contracting and special-mission operations including VIP, security and cargo/combi.
With nearly 25 years of continuous operating experience, Jet Logistics supports mission-critical air transport programmes across the US and internationally. The company maintains FAA worldwide operating specifications and holds IS-BAO Stage III and DoD CARB credentials, reflecting its adherence to the rigorous safety and operational standards required for complex medical, government and special-mission profiles.
“Jet Logistics and our team have built our reputation on high standards and the ability to adapt to highly specialised operational challenges,” states founder and president W Ashley Smith, Jr. “Those capabilities have enabled us to develop and operate air transport programmes for leading organisations in air medical, government and defence, and special operations, often executing missions that other operators are not structured to support.
“As consolidation continues to reshape the charter market, our 25-year track record under consistent ownership and leadership remains a key differentiator. The launch of our new website, combined with focused business development initiatives by our team, positions us to more clearly communicate the depth of our capabilities across air medical, donor organ and government transport operations.”
The 15th anniversary of AeroMedOPS and GovOPS highlights Jet Logistics' role in developing and scaling specialised fixed-wing programmes supporting critical-care air ambulance, donor organ transport, government and other high-priority missions. Since the early 2010s, the company has helped structure and operate dedicated aviation solutions for hospital systems, organ procurement organisations and government agencies, contributing to the evolution of more responsive, mission-aligned air transport models in the sector.
Jet Logistics' work in donor organ transport was recently recognised with the Champion of Donation Award from the Indiana Donor Network for its role in supporting the development and long-term operation of the organisation's TxJet programme, one of the most advanced dedicated aviation models supporting time-critical transplant logistics.
Operationally, Jet Logistics has conducted missions across five continents, 57 foreign countries and all 50 United States. Its FAA worldwide operating authority enables access to every continent except Antarctica, from Alaska to the Caribbean and from the UAE to South Korea. The company's flight and maintenance teams have operated a diverse fleet of turboprop and jet aircraft, including Hawker, Learjet, King Air and Citation platforms.
Jet Logistics' client base includes leading hospital systems and organ procurement organisations, air medical providers and other healthcare institutions, as well as multiple US government agencies, including the Department of Defense, Department of Justice, US Marshals Service and the Department of Health & Human Services.
