History

The airline was founded in 2019 by Garrett Camp, the co-founder of Uber.

Corporate affairs

For regulatory purposes, Aero is set up as public charter operator. Aircraft are operated by subsidiary USAC Airways 695, LLC and Aero resells seats on the aircraft to the public. [3] [2]

Aero UK

Aero UK, which operated Embraer ERJ-135 aircraft under a UK AOC, sought to establish itself in the semi-private and charter market following Aero’s expansion from the United States. However, due to ongoing operational and commercial challenges, it ceased all flight operations by October 2023. [4]

In January 2025, Aero launched nonstop flights between Los Angeles and Salt Lake City timed to coincide with the Sundance Film Festival. [5] Later in 2025, for the ski season, the airline moved operations to Heber Valley Airport to give passengers closer access to ski areas near Park City and Deer Valley. [6]

In August 2025, Aero and Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea announced the launch of weekly semi-private flights from Los Angeles (Van Nuys Airport, VNY) to Kahului, Maui, beginning November 2025. This is described as the “first scheduled semi-private route between mainland America and the Hawaiian Islands open to all travelers.” [7]

In December 2025, Aero introduced nonstop Aspen–New York City flights, making it the sole airline to operate a direct route between the two markets. [8]
