2. Executive Company Overview
AirStar Charter is a U.S. private aviation company headquartered in Swainsboro, Georgia, providing on-demand private jet charter alongside aircraft management and aviation support services. Its operating ecosystem also includes AirStar Flight Support, which provides maintenance and FBO-related services, and AirStar Elite, a separate charter-broker and membership-oriented brand. The company’s principal operating base is associated with East Georgia Regional Airport in Swainsboro, while aviation maintenance support is also offered at Athens-Ben Epps Airport in Athens, Georgia. (AirStar Charter)
The regulatory structure deserves particular attention. Current FAA air-traffic publications identify GA Flight of DE, Inc. d/b/a AirStar, based in Swainsboro, under three-letter designator OLV and telephony identifier OLIVIA. AirStar’s own website states that flights may be operated by AirStar Charter Inc. or other appropriately certificated FAR Part 135 or Part 121 carriers. It separately emphasizes that AirStar Elite LLC functions as a charter broker and is not itself a direct air carrier. (Federal Aviation Administration)
AirStar’s publicly displayed company fleet is concentrated in the Cessna Citation light-jet family. Its current fleet page specifically presents a CitationJet/CJ and Citation CJ2+, while current flight-tracking data connects additional Citation CJ2 and CJ3 aircraft with AirStar operations. Because fleet sources disagree on whether two or four aircraft should be counted, PrivateJetia should distinguish the company-advertised charter fleet from aircraft externally observed operating under AirStar’s OLV identifier. (AirStar Charter)
Beyond charter flying, AirStar provides corporate aircraft management, aircraft maintenance, mobile maintenance support, pre-purchase inspection services, fueling, hangarage and FBO support. This creates a comparatively broad service model for a regional charter operator centered in Georgia. (AirStar Charter)

The company’s strongest physical operating concentration remains the southeastern United States. (LinkedIn)

AirStar’s current public fleet is strongly focused on Textron Aviation / Cessna Citation aircraft. (AirStar Charter)
Manufacturer
Cessna / Textron Aviation
Documented Models

- Cessna Citation CJ2
- Cessna Citation CJ2+
- Cessna Citation CJ3 (AirStar Charter)

8. Fleet Information
Company-Published Fleet
AirStar’s current fleet page specifically publishes:
N915SF — 1999 Cessna Citation CJ
Company-listed light jet. (AirStar Charter)
N642WW — Cessna Citation CJ2+
Company-listed light jet. Independent flight-tracking records also identify N642WW as being operated by AirStar Charter under OLV flight identification. (AirStar Charter)
Additional Aircraft Observed by Third-Party Flight Tracking
As of a 2026 Flightradar24 fleet snapshot:
N788JS — Cessna Citation CJ2

N421MP was independently observed operating AirStar OLV flights as recently as August 2026. (Flightradar24)
Fleet Size

SkyAccess: 2 aircraft reported on the Part 135 operator profile as of August 30, 2026. (SkyAccess)

Owned Aircraft: Not publicly disclosed
Managed Aircraft: Exact count not publicly disclosed
Average Fleet Age: SkyAccess reported approximately 22.5 years for its two-aircraft dataset as of August 30, 2026; this should not be generalized to every AirStar-associated aircraft. (SkyAccess)

AirStar Elite LLC
Not a direct air carrier.
The company specifically states that AirStar Elite LLC operates as a charter broker and does not itself conduct aircraft operations under FAR Part 135. Flights arranged through it may be operated by AirStar or other certificated carriers. (AirStar Charter)
WYVERN

Senior Executive
BBB identifies Jeremiah Stoddard as CFO. Other professional data identifies him as Vice President / Business Development. Because titles appear to vary by source and date, his exact current title should be confirmed directly with AirStar. (Better Business Bureau)

6. Charter plus brokerage structure
The combination of a direct operating business and AirStar Elite brokerage function allows the organization to supplement its own aircraft with third-party certificated operators when appropriate. (AirStar Charter)
7. 2026 WYVERN network participation
AirStar’s Registered Operator status adds a third-party safety-data relationship relevant to charter brokers and corporate aviation buyers conducting operator screening. (LinkedIn)

Requires Verification
Exact Legal Operating Entity
FAA publications identify GA Flight of DE, Inc. d/b/a AirStar, while the company website refers to flights operated by AirStar Charter Inc. PrivateJetia should not merge those names without direct corporate or FAA-document confirmation. (Federal Aviation Administration)
Founding Year
Sources materially conflict:
- 1989: current AirStar website
- December 10, 1990: BBB business start
- 1994: LinkedIn company profile (AirStar Charter)
Recommended PrivateJetia treatment: Founded: Not independently reconciled; company traces operations to 1989.
Current Part 135 Fleet Count
Company website, SkyAccess and flight-tracking data do not produce the same count.
Recommended PrivateJetia treatment:
Published Fleet: 2 aircraft visible on official fleet page
Additional aircraft associated with operator by third-party flight tracking: 2
Current FAA OpSpec fleet count: Requires direct verification
ARGUS Gold Status
Current third-party operator data reports ARGUS Gold, but direct primary-source ARGUS confirmation was not located.
Executive Titles
Robert Barker’s President/CEO position is well supported. Jeremiah Stoddard’s current title differs among sources and should be reconfirmed.

25. Information Last Verified
Information Last Verified: September 19, 2026
Research Confidence: Moderate to High
Core business activities, physical locations, charter services, current website, Citation specialization, OLV regulatory identifier, leadership and aviation-support activities are well supported by a combination of official AirStar, FAA and aviation-industry sources.
The principal limitations concern corporate/legal entity naming, founding date and exact active Part 135 fleet composition. These should remain explicitly flagged rather than normalized into unsupported facts.
Important Data Gaps:
- Exact reconciliation of GA Flight of DE, Inc., AirStar Charter Inc. and the broader AirStar corporate structure
- Definitive founding/incorporation chronology
- Current FAA certificate number and exact aircraft listed on current Operations Specifications
- Exact owned versus managed fleet
- Current total aircraft under management
- Revenue and flight-volume statistics
- Current employee headcount
- Primary-source ARGUS status confirmation
- Any FAA Part 145 approval
- IS-BAO status
- Current NBAA/NATA membership
- Ownership/shareholder structure
PrivateJetia editorial recommendation: preserve the AirStar operating-company and AirStar Elite broker distinction prominently in the published profile. It is one of the most important factual details for users evaluating who actually conducts a charter flight versus who arranges it. (AirStar Charter)
