Celebrate the New Year and the 40th anniversary of The Air Charter Guide with us! Yes, we have published a directory of air charter operators, brokers and aircraft for that long. It all started in 1986 with an all-US print edition including 3000 operators. Air Charter Guide founder Fred Gevalt was instrumental in defining an industry that at the time was in its nascent stages.  After flying architect and engineer colleagues on an IBM project back and forth to the jobsite and enjoying the convenience, Fred decided to create a guide to promote and bring together air charter.
