Valley Air Service History Valley Air Services Owners

In 1994, Stephen and Maureen Cosyns began realizing their dream - to build the finest on demand aircraft charter company in the Chicago area.

Steve and Maureen made a commitment to offer their clients the finest aircraft, the safest flights and first class service from start to finish.

Starting with a single twin-engine airplane, Valley Air has grown to include an available fleet of piston aircraft, turboprops, small, midsize and heavy jets.

After over a decade of accident and incident-free operation in the United States, Mexico, Canada and Caribbean, Valley Air has earned a reputation for being one of the finest companies in the industry. They are regularly chosen to fly celebrities, professional athletes, politicians, executives and families.

Safety and convenience with service second to none. This was the commitment then. It is the commitment today. And will continue to be the commitment in the future.
