| CSI,
established in 1979, has grown to our present position
as a diversified and uniquely specialized aviation services
company. Capabilities range from ad hoc passenger and cargo
air charters, to comprehensive air charter management for
multiple aircraft, to leased aircraft on an Aircraft, Crew,
Insurance, and Maintenance (ACMI) basis. Aircraft range from
airliners to executive jets to turboprops, both internationally
and domestically. CSI may use certified Federal Aviation Regulations
(FAR) Part 91/121/125/129/135 operators depending upon the
requirement.
CSI provides air charter transportation for multi-national
corporations, incentives and meetings, athletics and government
agencies. Experience and diversity have given CSI a distinct
advantage in handling complex requirements and the unique
capability to conduct on-demand operations. Several corporations
rely on our resources as part of their emergency response
programs and we continue to conduct personnel evacuations
for these customers worldwide.
To illustrate CSI’s current
day to day tempo, we receive over 2,000 requirements annually
and offer, on average, five aircraft options for every request
received. This requires the development of approximately 10,000
aircraft options annually, which literally span the chart
in terms of aircraft type and capability. Of all the requirements
received, we contract and provide over 20% of them with aircraft,
each of which is supported by a Service Coordinator or Program
Manager providing whatever customer assistance is necessary.
CSI has demonstrated the capability of leasing, chartering,
and maintaining aircraft of various sizes and types worldwide.
CSI has secured and contracted aircraft on a fully allocated,
ACMI and/or AIM basis for short and long-term requirements.

Since
1983, CSI’s technical services have been providing airlines
with experienced representation in the U.S. Military airlift
market. As the assigned agent for several U.S. airlines, we
represent these air carriers to the U.S. Defense Department’s
Air Mobility Command. This entails handling Civil Reserve
Air Fleet (“CRAF”) issues and coordinating military
commercial airlift requirements within these carriers’
capabilities. This function is vital to the nation’s
wartime airlift capacity through the CRAF program, as well
as ensuring the Department of Defense has access to adequate
supplemental airlift during peacetime. Our familiarity with
the CRAF enables us to locate and contract substitute aircraft
faster and more efficiently than any other organization in
the industry if CRAF aircraft are activated for the military.
CSI can quickly eliminate from consideration all carriers
whose military obligations prevent them from performing a
mission, thereby shortening response time and allowing us
to provide the customer/agency better service.
Since 1990, CSI’s services have been an integral part
of the federal government air transportation system, when
awarded our first contract for supplemental aircraft for the
U.S. Marshals Service, an agency of the Department of Justice.
Our services have ranged from providing replacement aircraft
during periods of heavy maintenance, to fulltime management,
maintenance and logistics support of leased aircraft. Today,
we continue to work with and have contracts in place with
several agencies such as the Department of Justice, Federal
Bureau of Investigation, Department of Homeland Security,
Department of State, Department of Energy, and U.S. Secret
Service.
In 2004, CSI became the first air charter management company
to hold a GSA Schedule for both Air Charter and Aircraft Leasing.
Our GSA Schedule offers the government the ability to use
a more efficient and convenient contracting vehicle and we
offer air charter and aircraft leasing services through the
GSA on a full range of aircraft.
