Initially, flights were primarily being chartered by the Tinian Dynasty Hotel and Casino (TDHC) to accommodate its staff and some of its customers. The flights chartered by the TDHC were used primarily as a supplement to their existing agreements with a ferry boat service which provided the majority of their customer transfers between Saipan and Tinian.
In February 2010 Robert Christian sold 50% of the Companys shares to Shaun Christian and 25% of the shares to Paz Christian. Shaun took over as the President and Chief Operating Officer and Robert continues to act as the Director of Flight Operations and Chairman of the Board of Directors.
