A Brief History of Royal Air
To understand where we are going, it's essential to journey through our past. Explore our history and discover the pivotal milestones that have shaped our journey to the present day.
1962
Our Founding
Royal Air Inc. is founded by William “Bill” Kostich as an aircraft salvage and repair operation, working entirely out of a garage in his backyard
Introducing Royal Air
Royal Air began with a single man in a small garage, driven by a simple purpose — to provide for his family and create a foundation for future generations. Today, that same spirit continues to guide us as we connect people, opportunities, and communities through the power of flight.
