Independent by Choice.
Personal by Nature.

National Jets combines the capability you expect from a major aviation facility — fuel farm, large-cabin ramp, hangar space and a certificated repair station — with the attention only an independent, family-owned operation can give.

Decisions are made here, at FLL, by people you can reach directly. Crews and flight departments aren't simply another tail number on the ramp sheet; they're guests whose day depends on us getting the details right.

Heritage

Aviation Is Our Family Business.

Before National Jets was one of the country's best-known independent air centers, it was the idea of three brothers. Carl, James and Thomas Boy founded the company in 1947 in Durham, North Carolina, growing a family service station into an aviation corporation that moved to Fort Lauderdale in 1960.
