humble beginning
big future
West Air was founded in Chico, California, in the 1940s as a Fixed Base Operator, pumping fuel, renting aircraft, performing aircraft maintenace and avionics and providing charter flights and flight instruction. In the late 1970s, the company provided San Francisco-based commuter airline services as West Air Airlines.
West Air began operations for FedEx in 1987 and the company quickly transitioned to an all Cessna 208 fleet, with 33 new aircraft added to the operation.
West Air has been blessed with a team of good people who care about their fellow workers and their position in the company. The airline has won numerous FedEx Feeder of the Year awards as it continues to outperform the competition.
At West Air we give our pilots competitive pay, state-of-the-art equipment, quality of life schedules and Flight Safety training.
