Fast Air

Fast Air is a Canadian business aviation company. It offers private charter, aircraft management, FBO services, maintenance and sales. An FBO is a base at an airport that serves private aircraft. The company works from Winnipeg, Manitoba and Abbotsford, British Columbia.

The site says the company has served clients for over 30 years. It describes a history that began in the 1950s. Dylan Fast and Reg Fast founded Fast Air Ltd. It began by managing one private aircraft, a Piper Cheyenne, from Winnipeg International Airport. Dylan Fast is now President and CEO.

The fleet grew over time. The company bought its first King Air 200 and later added more King Airs. It entered business jet work by managing a Westwind. It also started a medevac service with bases in Winnipeg, Thompson, Island Lake and Norway House. That unit was later renamed Vanguard Air Care.

Charter service covers business trips, team travel, remote sites and personal travel. The site says charters reach airports that commercial airlines cannot easily serve. Clients are in Manitoba, British Columbia and the wider Western Canadian market. The company also began VIP charter from Billy Bishop Airport in Toronto.

The aircraft management team looks after owners. Its work includes crew staffing, maintenance coordination and regulatory oversight. It also covers charter revenue options for owners. The site says owners gain from in-house support and maintenance skills at several locations.

Fast Air Jet Centre is the FBO and fuel arm. Teams in Winnipeg and Abbotsford handle quick turns, crew amenities and hangar space. They also offer concierge help, and the Winnipeg site lists ground transport, hotel bookings, customs and secure hangars. The Abbotsford FBO offers support around the clock.

The company completed a new hangar and FBO in Abbotsford. It also built a 25,000 square foot maintenance hangar. The website lists charter, management, FBO, maintenance and sales pages, along with contact details for each base.
