United Kingdom Founded in 1961, Air Partner is a global aviation services group providing aircraft charter services and aviation safety & security.

Charter work represents Air Partner's largest income stream at 87% of the group's profits.

In April 2022, Air Partner group was acquired by Wheels Up and delisted from the London Stock Exchange.

History

Air Partner launched in 1961. It was initially based in the art deco Beehive Terminal, Gatwick’s original terminal with its grass runways. Trading as Airways Training, it began as a school for military pilots converting to civilian flying using flight simulators and a fleet of Beagles. The company then formed an air taxi operation with a fleet of Chieftain, Piper Aztec, 125 and C550 aircraft and changed its name to Air London. The decision to concentrate on aircraft broking was made in 1983.
