to government and commercial organizations worldwide, announced today
its receipt of the Federal Aviation Regulations Part 121 certification
from the Federal Aviation Administration and the launch of its new
commercial airline business, Dynamic Airways. The new airline, which
will operate nonscheduled jet services for government and commerical
customers around the world, is based at Smith Reynolds Airport in
Winston-Salem, N.C.
"This is a tremendous milestone for Dynamic Aviation and we're excited
to have the opportunity to build Dynamic Airways into a successful
business to support the needs of both commercial and government
customers with jet charter services," said Michael Stoltzfus,
president and CEO of Dynamic Aviation. "We look forward to providing
customers with highly reliable flight schedules and outstanding
customer service in a manner that continues our company's long
tradition of service and excellence."
Dynamic Airways currently operates one MD-88 aircraft, with a second
slated for delivery in mid-December. The company currently employs a
team of 40 full-time and part-time personnel.
"As home to where our aviation industry first took flight, we are
proud to launch Dynamic Airways in North Carolina," said Guy Cannady,
Dynamic Aviation chief operating officer for Dynamic Airways. "This
new business will mean more jobs for the Piedmont Triad area and more
aviation industry opportunities for the state."
Dynamic Airways aircraft are available for charter worldwide. Company
executives are expecting the airline to serve the federal government
as well as a variety of groups in the private sector, such as the
tourism industry, collegiate athletic teams, private charter groups,
and any other industries and groups that have a need for reliable,
customized transportation.
To complete its FAR Part 121 certification, an effort that the company
began over a year ago, Dynamic Airways developed manuals, procedures
and training programs, and also worked closely with the FAA and its
regional and local affiliate organizations to demonstrate its ability
to operate aircraft safely and comply with all safety regulations and
standards.
Additionally, throughout the process, Dynamic Airways was subjected to
a rigorous financial and management fitness determination conducted by
the U.S. Department of Transportation, which found it to be "fit,
willing and able" to act in the public interest as an air carrier.
