West Air

West Air is an air cargo transportation operator. It has flown for FedEx since 1987, operating Cessna 208 Caravan aircraft on feeder routes. Flights operate from Ontario, San Diego, Sacramento, Oakland and Las Vegas. The company has more than 35 years of experience as a Part 135 operator. Its history began in Chico, California, in the 1940s as a fixed base operator, offering aircraft fueling, rentals, maintenance, avionics work, charter flights and flight instruction. In the late 1970s, it also provided commuter airline services as West Air Airlines. Today, West Air focuses on FedEx operations and recruits pilots for its flying roles, with company-provided FlightSafety training and schedules designed to provide time at home.
