Founded by current President and CEO Jeffrey Carrithers in December 1995 as Global Aviation Navigator, Inc., the company ultimately settled into its dot-com brand name, GlobalAir.com. Through its history, it has created resources to serve everyone from hobbyist pilots to top-level industry professionals.
Carrithers, a former aircraft broker looking for a new challenge, launched the site in his apartment, and success did not come overnight. At one point he operated the venture out of a friend’s basement. While tech startups crashed on Wall Street at the dawn of the new millennium, GlobalAir.com’s revenue moved into the green, with a renewed focus on aircraft sales.
In 2000, GlobalAir.com launched its industry-redefining BrokerNet, allowing aircraft brokerages the ability to share information directly with one another through email broadcasts. From there, GlobalAir.com grew from a home-based operation, ultimately moving into the former Flight Services Station at Bowman Field (KLOU), in late 2009.
Along the way, GlobalAir.com has maintained one of the oldest and largest aviation business directories online, as well as a robust aviation events calendar.
Its Airport Resource Center has long been used by aviators to get airport weather information and FAA information and notices for pilots. Today, that system includes the most up-to-date FBO fuel prices found anywhere on the internet. The aviation news division was launched in 2019 and has steadily grown since.

In addition to supporting aviators and its surrounding business community with numerous databases and tools, GlobalAir.com also provides direct digital marketing resources to clients and the public at large. That includes the publication of aviation news articles and press releases, which are shared with the GlobalAir.com community, consisting of tens of thousands of niche email databases and a collective following on a suite of social media accounts of more than 80,000 followers across multiple sites.
In recent years, the company has launched a fraud-detection tool for aircraft brokers to report spammy leads, and has overhauled its Aircraft Resource Center, as well as the overall site to be the most mobile-friendly website for buying and selling aircraft. GlobalAir.com is always looking ahead to ensure that it rapidly adapts to the everchanging landscape of digital marketing to serve the heart of the aviation community.
