Priority Air Charter was launched in 1997 with two Cessna 208B Grand Caravans. Today we operate two Caravans and two, 300-MPH pressurized Pilatus PC-12's. Our aircraft are equipped with the latest in navigation and communication technology, including uplink satellite weather data. Priority’s professional dispatch, flight and maintenance teams, and two aircraft types, take economy, speed and customer satisfaction to the next level in the private air charter industry! Our business philosophy of, “We’ll do what we say and do it well,” and competitive prices, have led to many shippers preferring Priority over other carriers.

Colby and Austin Stoltzfus — Ken Jr.’s sons — have assumed the role of sole owners of JILCO Industries. Both have long been integral to the daily operations of Priority Air Charter and Preferred Airparts.
