History

The FBO began as the Fort Lauderdale Jet Center and the Daytona Beach Jet Center in 1988. They acquired their Orlando, Jacksonville, and LaGuardia locations all before June 2004. As these four places were fairly new to their home base their name was changed to SheltAir Aviation Services. Since the Daytona Beach and Fort Lauderdale locations had become accustomed to the Jet Center name, a two and a half year transition was planned, ending December 2006. Following the name change in June 2004, six other locations were opened in Florida and New York.

Holland Builders

SheltAir Aviation Services, SheltAir Aviation Facilities, and Holland Builders of Florida, Inc. are all part of the Holland-SheltAir Aviation Group and are owned by Jerry Holland and John Schmatz.

Holland Builders was founded in 1963, and the SheltAir Aviation Facilities in the '70's, and SheltAir Aviation Services in the late 1980's in Ft. Lauderdale, FL and then in Daytona Beach, FL.

SheltAir Aviation Services expanded quickly in the early 2000's, growing from two Fixed Base Operations (FBOs) to 13 (in NY, FL, and GA) in 2009.
