The recession appears to have claimed another victim, charter operator SATSair, which
shut down operations on October 23, “due to circumstances,” according to a telephone recording on the company’s voicemail system. SATSair (Smart Air Travel Solutions) operated a fleet of Cirrus SR22 piston singles throughout the southern and eastern U.S., with headquarters in Greenville, S.C. The company opened in November 2004, offering one-way pricing, and last March reported “record revenues and outstanding financial performance,” with more than 14,000 flights logged during Fiscal Year 2008.

SATSair had announced in August 2008
plans
to add Cirrus’s single-engine Vision jet to its fleet.
