Rectrix Commercial Aviation Services, Inc. offers premium private jet charter, aircraft maintenance, aircraft management, fixed-base operations (FBO) services and a passenger commuter shuttle service. Since its founding in 2005, Rectrix has set the gold standard in the world of aviation. The company has a long history of expansion and has revolutionized the FBO concept through the operation of high quality FBO services in key locations on the East Coast, including Bedford, Westfield, Worcester and Hyannis, Massachusetts and Sarasota, Florida. In 2009 Rectrix acquired global jet charter operating authority for 10 or more passenger seats with the purchase of New World Jet Corporation. This charter operation, rebranded as Rectrix Aviation, Inc., enabled the company to offer travel in a cost-effective manner by utilizing their own fleet of Lear 45, Challenger 604 and Challenger 300 aircraft at their state-of-the-art Rectrix Aerodrome Center private terminals. In 2016 Rectrix launched a passenger shuttle servicing Hyannis on Cape Cod and Nantucket. Shuttle routes were expanded to Worcester in 2017 with additional shuttle routes soon to come. Exceptional service is the core principle of how Rectrix operates, and the company is committed to growing the general aviation industry in Massachusetts and throughout the nation.
