Axis Jet merges two Part 135 certificates into single operating entity
Axis Jet has merged the Eldorado Air and Modesto Executive Air Charter Part 135 certificates into one, and gained FAA approval for a structured second-in-command pilot development programme.
Bringing these operations together has been a significant undertaking.

Axis Jet, a northern California private aviation company specialising in aircraft charter, management and sales, is bringing its charter operations together under a single FAA Part 135 operating certificate while introducing a newly-approved Pilot Development Program designed to support the next generation of professional aviators.

The company has consolidated its charter operations, previously conducted under Eldorado Air and Modesto Executive Air Charter, into a single FAA Part 135 operating certificate under Modesto Executive Air Charter, doing business as Axis Jet, while maintaining the same trusted team and exceptional service clients have come to expect.

By combining the people, aircraft and operational resources of two established flight operations, Axis Jet is able to provide a more consistent approach to flight operations with greater flexibility to support aircraft owners and charter customers as the company continues to grow.

“Bringing these operations together has been a significant undertaking, and I'm proud of the work our team has put into making it happen,” says Matt Bosco, co-founder of Axis Jet. “We've built our business on strong relationships, experienced people and a commitment to taking care of our customers. This brings those strengths together under one operation and puts us in a great position for what's ahead.”

Axis Jet offers a versatile fleet of turboprop and jet aircraft, operating under an FAA Part 135 certificate authorised for aircraft with 10 or more passenger seats. As a Wyvern-approved operator, Axis Jet provides private charter services throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico.

With aircraft suited for everything from regional travel and access to smaller airports to longer-range business and personal trips, Axis Jet can help customers select the aircraft that best fits their needs.

The combined operation also brings together the experience of pilots, dispatchers, maintenance professionals and operational leadership teams who share a commitment to safe, reliable and personalised service.

Alongside the operational integration, Axis Jet has received FAA approval for its Pilot Development Program, creating a structured opportunity for pilots earlier in their careers to gain experience, develop their skills and work toward advancement in professional aviation.

The programme is part of a broader commitment to building talent from within and creating long-term career opportunities as the company grows.

“We want to create opportunities for good pilots to build meaningful careers here,” Bosco continues. “That means investing in their training, giving them the right support and creating a path for them to grow with us. It's good for our pilots, good for our customers and important to the long-term success of Axis Jet.”

Founded in 2004, Axis Jet has spent more than two decades building relationships with aircraft owners, charter customers and aviation professionals throughout northern California and beyond.

The integration of its charter operations and investment in pilot development reflect the company's continued focus on its people, its customers and the operational capabilities needed to support future growth.

Until this consolidation, Axis Jet's charter flying sat under Eldorado Air, while the Modesto-based fleet operated under Modesto Executive Air Charter, which traded publicly as Modesto Jet Center. Modesto will continue to focus on FBO services at Modesto City-County airport-Harry Sham Field.
