About
Us
The IFL Group has been safely flying air freight since
1983. We began our operation flying on-demand (Charter) with Cessna
310 and Piper Navajo aircraft out of Pontiac, Michigan. The fleet
grew with the addition of a DC-3 in 1984 and subsequent additional
DC-3s as our reputation for service spread as we became the largest
DC-3 operator in the world. Our first Convair aircraft was added to
the fleet in 1993 and was followed by our first turbine powered
Convair in 1996. By 2000, we were operating a large fleet of Convair
340's, 580's and 5800's that soon expanded to include our Boeing
727-100 and 727-200 aircraft. The Boeing satisfies the need for
heavy lift capability, backed by reliable service and maintenance.
In 2004, we replaced our Cessna Caravans and expanded our Part 135
operation to include the market's only Long Range Dassault Falcon 20
aircraft, outclassing our competition.
From the time we first started as a small Part 135 operator, to our
acquisition of a Part 121 carrier, to our current position as an
efficient Part 135 and Part 121 operator of multiple aircraft types,
IFL Group has ably served the needs of our customers, safely and
securely. We continue to strive to be the benchmark for
customer-focused air transportation. Our operations now extend
throughout the United States, Canada, the Caribbean, and well into
Latin America, where we can serve all of our air cargo and charter
needs.
Our current fleet includes:
7 Convair 580's
5 Convair 5800's
3 Boeing 727-200's
8 Falcon 20's
4 CRJ 200s
