Amerijet International has acquired
SRX Transcontinental, Inc., a Florida based company specializing in
ground handling operations throughout Central Asia, and owner of
Avialeasing Aviation Company, an Uzbekistan certificated airline
with US DOT Part 129 authority.
SRX and Avialeasing market the sales, charter operations, and
contract maintenance of Antonov An-12 and An-26 aircraft based from
both Uzbekistan and Miami, Florida. These aircraft are known for
their ramp loading capabilities, unique winch and crane cargo
handling system enabling it to load heavy and oversized cargo, as
well as their ability to operate to airports not normally served by
other commercial and or cargo aircraft.
David Bassett, CEO of Amerijet, stated "Amerijet believes this
acquisition will complement its cargo operations and support our
energy sector customers both in the Americas and worldwide. It will
also support our effort toward establishing regional cargo
operations throughout Central Asia, a market Amerijet believes
capable of substantial growth throughout the next decade."
The acquisition also coincides with Amerijet's recent
announcement to lease and operate five Boeing 767-200 cargo
aircraft. These aircraft will complement its historical fleet of
Boeing 727-200's.
Amerijet International, Inc. is a full-service multi-modal
transportation and logistics provider, offering international,
scheduled all-cargo transport via land, sea, and air. Florida-based
Amerijet operates offices all over the world, serving destinations
throughout the America's, Mexico, the Caribbean, Europe, Asia, and
the Middle East. Amerijet operates Boeing 727-200 and Boeing
767-200 aircraft from its primary hub at Miami International
Airport.
