Aviation veteran buys airline, aims to ramp up company's growth

Bigger isn’t better. At least that’s what one small airline is arguing, one flight at a time.

The entrepreneur behind that airline, Sanford Rederer, has been involved in commercial aviation for about 40 years.  He’s worked with large aircraft at big airlines, among them Continental Airlines, TWA and American Airlines. “It was all airline planning and finance — figuring out where to fly, what type of aircraft to use, how many flights, pricing strategy, marketing strategy and then some aircraft finance,” he says.
