Founded by William Milam and Lynn Krogh in 1979, International Jet has served as a beacon of excellence in the aviation industry. It provides award-winning charter services and remains committed to safety, quality, and customer satisfaction. As the longest-tenured charter company at Centennial Airport, International Jet stands out as an industry leader.
Brian Smith joined the company as a partner ten years after its launch. Over the past 40 years, International Jet has expanded its operations and ranks among the top charter service providers in the Rocky Mountain region.
International Jet has implemented a comprehensive Safety Management System (SMS) that meets the highest international standards. Modeled after the ICAO Safety Management Manual and compliant with the International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) standard requirements, IS-BAO, International Jet's SMS ensures that safety remains the top priority in all operations.
It reinforces its focus on safety by using advanced decision-making tools. The company risk assesses every flight using an objective SMS measurement tool, FRAT, which helps pilots and supervisors make informed decisions about potential hazards before takeoff.
Complementing its robust safety protocols, International Jet has integrated a Quality Management System (QMS) closely modeled after the ISO 9001 standard. The integration encompasses everything from internal evaluations to change management. The company employs analytics tools to guide decision-making; every aspect of its operations is subject to scrutiny and continuous improvement.
Several factors set International Jet apart, including its systems and processes and the experienced staff responsible for its operations. A diverse team of pilots with backgrounds ranging from the US Military to Corporate Flight Departments and Medical Flight Operations lead the company's fleet.
International Jet also runs several training programs for all staff. Pilots undergo annual simulator training, exposing them to scenarios they cannot safely replicate during actual flights. Moreover, FAA-certified Check Airmen also assess them annually in aircraft.
International Jet has received numerous accolades, including the FAA Award of Excellence "Diamond Award" for two consecutive years, recognizing its maintenance department's commitment to training and proficiency. It has also received NBAA Safety Awards.
In addition to its commercial success, International Jet remains committed to giving back to the community. The company partners with the volunteer-driven Angel Flight West, which arranges non-emergency air transportation for individuals with severe medical conditions. In 2022, International Jet has donated 10 hours of flight time, valued at $50,000, to Angel Flight West. The partnership showcases International Jet's contribution to the community beyond its operations.
Further, International Jet's aircraft management program offers a comprehensive solution for private jet owners, allowing them to enjoy the benefits of ownership without the complexities of managing a flight department. With a wide range of services, including discount fleet fuel programs, professional flight crews, 24/7 flight coordination, and secured hangar facilities, International Jet takes care of all the details, providing owners with a hassle-free ownership experience.
The all-inclusive approach, coupled with International Jet's expertise in the aviation industry, makes International Jet an ideal partner for current and prospective aircraft owners looking to streamline their operations and maximize the value of their investment.
