Amerijet International, Inc. entered the air-carrier business in 1974 with one leased airplane as a Part 135 air-taxi operator, providing small cargo flights as well as passenger and air-ambulance charters throughout the United States and the Bahamas.

In 1976, Amerijet International, Inc. signed its first air cargo contract with Purolator Courier Corporation, and bought its first plane; a twin-engine Cessna 401. Amerijet was instrumental in developing and implementing Purolator's hub in Columbus, Ohio, and helped Purolator develop a Hazardous Materials Program, which later served as the basis for the successful development of Amerijet's own FAA-approved program for the delicate process of handling and shipping hazardous materials. Amerijet flew for Purolator longer than any other carrier until Purolator's merger with Emery Worldwide in 1987.

In the early 1980's, Amerijet took on debt to expand its jet fleet, enabling it to pick up business from other overnight shipping services. By the late 1980s, Amerijet started developing an independent airline business. Today, it earns 70 percent of its revenues through its own scheduled service, and still flies for several freight giants such as D. H. L. Worldwide Courier, Emery, Burlington Air Express, Airborne Express, United Parcel Service, and various worldwide airlines.

Throughout the '80s and '90s, Amerijet continued to expand its footprint throughout North, South, and Central America; Mexico; and the Caribbean, offering direct service to emerging business markets that were either underserved or ignored due to their small volumes. In addition, Amerijet expanded service throughout Europe and the Far East via Interline agreements with other carriers. Fierce competition in the cargo industry in more recent years led Amerijet toward comprehensive transportation services and the multi-modal operation of today, including its N.V.O.C.C. operation and worldwide ground services, as well as broader diversification of its lines of business.

With corporate offices adjacent to Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport and its cargo hub in Miami, the world’s trade gateway to the Americas, Amerijet is ideally situated to grow toward the future of international trade. With local offices in nearly all of the international destinations it services, Amerijet gains first-hand knowledge of local regulations and business practices to provide integral services to the international communities it serves.

Amerijet's primary goal has always been, and will continue to be, developing long-term relationships with customers by providing first-class service, equipment, and facilities. That's why Amerijet utilizes a state-of-the-art computerized tracking system to monitor the movement of its customers' freight throughout the entire shipping system, from reception to delivery, providing the best tracking service available in the industry. That's also why Amerijet strives to exceed all Federal Aviation Administration and industry standards for shipping and handling hazardous materials, making it one of the few cargo airlines in the United States authorized to operate with a Class A exemption.

Amerijet's dedication to quality service and its entrepreneurial spirit motivate the company to constantly seek the best methods of providing optimal service to its customers. As a worldwide carrier with a leading presence in its primary service regions of Latin America and the Caribbean, the company is poised for continued global growth.
