Part 135 light-jet charter operator and FBO at Danbury Municipal Airport, Connecticut
Reliant Air is a private aviation company based at Danbury Municipal Airport (DXR) in Danbury, Connecticut. Its roots go back to Reliant Aircraft Service, set up by Wayne Toher in 1981, and Reliant Air Charter, which he started with partner Phillip Kelsey in 1988. The company's own site cites more than 40 years in aviation.
The charter side, Reliant Air Charter Inc, describes itself as an FAA Part 135 on-demand air carrier and states that the aircraft it flies are owned or leased by the company rather than sourced from third-party operators. Alongside charter, Reliant runs an FBO at DXR and an in-house maintenance department that works on piston, turboprop and light-jet aircraft.
A Wikipedia fleet table dated March 2023 lists six aircraft: three Cessna Citation CJ4s, two Citation CJ3s and one King Air 350. The company has moved over time from twin-engine piston aircraft to a mainly light-jet fleet.
Reliant serves the New York area from Danbury, naming Westchester, Manhattan, Greenwich and northern New Jersey among the areas it covers, and it has a long association with flights to Nantucket. The company states it holds an ARGUS Gold rating and that its pilots train to FlightSafety International curricula.
FBO services listed on its website include Jet A and 100LL fuel, ground power, lavatory service, catering coordination and a crew car.
