Although the company transported passengers and cargo, it had a much broader business model and scope focusing on Defense, Oil, Logistics, and Government sectors.[1] During 2017, it operated in Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Brazil, Nigeria, Mexico, and Bolivia and has operated in Afghanistan through U.S. Transportation Command Directorate of Acquisition contracts.
