Founded in 1978, Martinaire is a Dallas, Texas based FAR Part 135 air cargo carrier. Martinaire offers scheduled and on-demand express air freight transportation service utilizing a fleet of 41 Cessna 208B (Caravan) aircraft and 4 Metro III aircraft.

The majority of Martinaire’s operations are scheduled overnight feeder service flights for the worlds largest freight carriers in support of their overnight air cargo operations. They depend on us every business day to provide fast, reliable, time definite delivery of their documents and freight shipments to over 60 cities throughout the United States.

Martinaire is one of the original overnight express “feeder” carriers and has maintained scheduled route service since 1987. Martinaire has achieved within one-minute on-time performance reliability on scheduled service of over 99.7% from 2002 through 2006.

Looking to expand operations, in April 2004, Martinaire and Mid-Atlantic Freight, another original airline in the overnight feeder cargo business,  joined their cargo operations and formed Martinaire Partners, L.P.

In October 2005, Martinaire expanded again when they added Union Flights, which had been flying cargo for over 30 years, to the partnership and set up a base in Sacramento, CA.

One year later, in October 2006, Martinaire added an additional 12 airplanes to its fleet. 8 Caravans, 4 Metro IIIs, and a hanger maintenance facility were acquired in Lansing, MI.

Martinaire now has operations coast to coast and border to border. The company continues looking for additional expansion opportunities.

Martinaire also provides Charter Service for express cargo delivery, aircraft on ground (AOG) needs, feeder route “fill in” service for other air cargo carriers, and just-in-time delivery for auto manufacturers as well as media outlets.

Corporate headquarters and maintenance facilities are located at Addison Airport (ADS) in Addison, Texas. In addition to it’s flight capabilities, Martinaire is also a Cessna Caravan Approved Service Center and Authorized Caravan Parts Dealer.
 

Martinaire is a member of the Regional Air Cargo Carriers Association (RACCA) and the National Air Transportation Association (NATA).
