Why Kalitta?
Kalitta Air is an FAR 121 Air Carrier and a leading provider of air cargo transportation, offering both scheduled and chartered transportation services worldwide.
The airline began with a small group of very dedicated employees with vision who worked uncompromisingly towards success of the company. Now, the company is benefiting from the efforts of those dedicated people and all of those that followed. Today the Kalitta Companies consist of Kalitta Air, Kalitta Maintenance, Kalitta Tire and Brake, Kalitta Turbine Leasing and Kalitta International Flight Academy. We can handle virtually anything – flying freight, pilot training, providing MRO maintenance, and everything in between.
Kalitta uses high end technology such as cutting edge CNC lathes, Danobat Grinders, full motion flight simulators, and 3D Engineering Computer software to name a few. Utilizing our new efficient hangars, we equip our aircraft with top of the line aircraft avionics.
Kalitta is a small organization with a huge heart and a well-disciplined work force, who deliver a top-shelf, quality product day in and day out. The Kalitta team has the desire, willingness, and ability to accomplish just about any task. We do it on time, safely, and with the highest quality performance that exceeds all national standards.

"Throughout my years of working with MRO facilities, I have never experienced such a close knit group of individuals working as a team in such a cohesive manner. Foresight, attitude, responsibility, preparedness, and depth of experience means a lot and (Kalitta has) it all.”
Bob Harris
Director of Maintenance
Crestwind Aviation
“...We previously used another MRO and had nothing but problems but I found that my job with Kalitta was one of just being there to answer questions and help the project along. I can’t say how pleased and relieved to have had the experience with your organization..”

GECAS Is Halfway Through Development Of A 777 Freighter Conversion
GECAS, the leasing arm of General Electric, has today confirmed it is ahead of schedule on its Big Twin program. The company says it has reached the halfway point six months earlier than planned. Working with Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), the leasing company is converting a Boeing 777-300ER passenger aircraft into a freighter.
In October 2020, the Big Twin program announced a launch customer for the freighter. US cargo airline Kalitta Air will be the launch customer for the new aircraft as soon as 2022. However, with the program ahead of schedule by at least six months and the demand for cargo remaining high, we could see the freighter in the sky earlier than expected.
Charitable Collaboration between Kalitta air and the yankee air museum
In December 2020, Kalitta painted and restored a B-25D Mitchell Bomber, formally known as “Yankee Warrior”, to match the livery and markings it wore in 1943 when it left the North American Aviation plant in the Fairfax Industrial District of Kansas City, Kansas. This plane honors the men and women who built it and the 57th Bomb Wing, 340th Bomb Group, 489th Bomb Squadron in which it served. As stated by the Air Museum, “Our B-25 is now named "Rosie's Reply" and adorned with nose art of Rosie the Riveter which honors the women of the Greatest Generation and hopefully will inspire confidence in women of all generations.” Learn more about our collaboration and this piece of history by watching the video above!
