Company History
Captain George A. Dodge started Western Airways in 1974 with a single-engine Piper and lofty ambitions. Western has since been traversing continents with thousands of satisfied customers. The company has provided professional and dependable air charter flights and aircraft services to a long and distinguished list of national and international companies, as well as private individuals, entrepreneurs and prominent politicians.
Western Airways has received added lift with entrepreneur Keith Mosing. The accomplished pilot and oil service industry executive climbed into the cockpit of business with his friend George to take the company to an even higher business level with his flying experience, business acumen, and love of airplanes. Today, the Western fleet is expansive and operated with an unblemished safety record. Aircraft include Lear Jets, various Citation models, Challengers, the 30-passenger CRJ200LR airliner, King Air 350, and more. Western’s high standards, its state-of-art computerized Safety Management System (SMS), and its safety record have earned it the honor to be one of the few charter companies in Texas authorized to fly large publicly-traded companies.
Western's pilots, technicians, and line personnel not only receive constant in-house training, but Western has a contract with the independent Flight Safety International for the latest flight simulator and ground school training and testing on a recurring basis. All Western aircraft are maintained at the highest standards for the safety and security of our customers.
