Custom Air Transport is a cargo airline based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA which began service on December 9, 1995.[1] It operates cargo services on behalf of Charter America, including several postal contracts and also flies on behalf of US freight forwarder Eagle Global Logistics. Its main base is Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.[2]
History
The airline was established in March 1995 and began operations in December 1995. It is wholly owned by Anthony Romeo, who is also the Chairman and Chief Executive.[2] CAT operated cargo flights on behalf of Emery Worldwide to and from its hub in Dayton, Ohio until Emery's parent company CF Transportation split the air freight activities into its own division, Menlo Forwarding, which took over the contract with CAT. In 2005, UPS acquired Menlo Forwarding and shut down the Dayton hub. CAT's last flight for Menlo Forwarding was on June 30, 2006, when the Dayton hub was officially closed and all but a few CAT pilots and flight engineers were furloughed. Except for a few aircraft in South Florida, CAT's fleet of Boeing 727 aircraft was parked shortly thereafter.[citation needed] CAT does some flying in the Caribbean, Central America, and South America. On April 26, 2012 delivered the remaining Boeing 727 to Aeronaves Peruanas Air cargo and ceased the activity.[3]
