SATSair was an air taxi provider based in Greenville, South Carolina, USA.[1][2] SATSair was a founding member of the Air Taxi Association (ATXA).

History

The company's first flight was in November 2004. SATSair operated 26 Cirrus SR-22, each equipped with entire-aircraft parachute systems for emergency safety. Unlike traditional charter flights, SATSair offered one-way pricing, so passengers did not directly pay for unused return legs.

Cirrus Design, the company that manufactured the aircraft used by SATSair, was a major shareholder having acquired a 25-percent stake of SATSair in July 2006.[1][3]

On 24 October 2009 SATSair ceased operations "due to circumstances." The cessation of operations was not unexpected as five of the company's aircraft had been repossessed and were without engines and a further ten company SR22s had been sitting on the ramp without engines for some time.[1][2]

On 31 December 2009, SATSair filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection.[4]
