Royal Air Charter

Royal Air Charter is the passenger charter name of Royal Air Freight, an air carrier headquartered in Waterford Township, Michigan, beside Oakland County International Airport (KPTK) north-west of Detroit. Wikipedia records that the company began operating in 1961, and its own website refers to more than 60 years of operations. It flies under the ICAO code RAX with the call sign AIR ROYAL.

The company's website states that it operates flights under its own FAA Part 135 certificate. Its main lines of business are on-demand private jet charter and expedited air freight, and the site notes that some trips may instead be arranged under Part 295 broker authority and flown by another certificated carrier holding operational control. Flyers should ask at booking which carrier will operate their trip.

The site describes a fleet of more than 40 aircraft, flown on its own aircraft or through partner operators, but does not list current types. A 2010 snapshot on Wikipedia listed Cessna 310s, Embraer Bandeirantes, Learjet 25s and 35s and Dassault Falcon 20s, many of which were used for cargo. That list is old and may not reflect the aircraft offered for passenger charter today.

Royal Air also runs Jet 1 Suites, which its site describes as private facilities for business jet owners at Oakland County International Airport. Wikipedia describes the company as licensed to serve the United States, Canada and Mexico.
