History
The airline was established and started operations in
1974. It was founded by
David Bassett (Chairman and Chief Executive) and a partner with one leased aircraft, operating passenger and cargo services between the USA and the
Bahamas. In
1976 Amerijet became a freight only carrier. In late
1978 courier contracts were taken from
Purolator,
FedEx,
UPS,
DHL and from Airborne in the early 1980s. In
1982 Bassett bought out his partner and created Amerijet International. It operated under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection from
22 August 2001 until
31 December 2001, from which it emerged after financial restructuring. Amerijet International is owned by HIG Capital (66%) and David Bassett (34%) and has 577 employees.
