About

Built by someone who's spent time on the flight deck, not just behind a desk.

Robert Contois

Founder & Managing Director

Catalina Jets was founded out of a simple observation: most owners don't need another company holding a certificate over their aircraft — they need someone in their corner who already knows the operators, the FBOs, and the crews worth trusting.

Based in Austin and working nationally, Catalina Jets draws on years of experience in and around the flight deck — as a pilot and aviation professional — to build the relationships that make the partner-certificate model work in practice, not just on paper.

That network runs across pilots, owners, FBO staff, and operators — the people who know, day to day, which certificate holders actually deliver.

What We Believe

A few things we won't compromise on

Belief 01

Owners deserve an advocate

Not an administrator. We work for you, not for the operator we place you with.

Belief 02

Relationships beat scale

We'd rather know ten operators well than claim a hundred we've never vetted in person.

Belief 03

Transparency isn't optional

You should be able to see exactly what's happening with your aircraft, always.
