Berry Aviation,

Berry Aviation is a specialist aviation services company. It is based in Texas and is now part of Bristow Group. It has worked for the United States government and defence customers for over 30 years. It also runs commercial non-scheduled charter flights.

The company was founded in Austin, Texas, in 1983. In 1987 it became a Department of Defense approved air carrier with worldwide operating authority. In 1993 it moved to San Marcos Regional Airport in Texas. That airport is still a key base today.

Berry's services include government special missions and scheduled and on-demand cargo flights. It also offers maintenance and repair work, known as MRO and CRO, as well as FBO operations. An FBO is a fixed base operator, which serves aircraft and crews on the ground. The website also lists a contact for unmanned aerial systems.

The company flies more than 20 aircraft from seven satellite locations. These sit across three continents and the Pacific Islands. It carries out missions inside and outside the continental United States. Berry says it has over 35 years of experience in commercial non-scheduled charter. It names safety, innovation and responsiveness as its focus. It also says it works hard to meet customer goals.

Customers include every branch of the U.S. military and Fortune 500 companies. Other Part 135 and Part 121 air carriers also use its services. Those are the two main U.S. rules for charter and airline operators.

Berry reports zero fatalities or injuries in over 35 years. It says it was first to market with enhanced airlift capability. The U.S. Small Business Administration gave it an Award for Excellence twice. In 2022 it won the American Legion Employer of Veterans National Award in the large category.

More than 300 team members work for the company. The website explains its history, service lines and safety record. It also has contacts for unmanned aircraft work and for employment verification requests.
