Why Fly A RED Tail and Wear A BLUE Tie
Because You’re a NAME, Not a NUMBER. Become Someone, not Something.
Why Fly A RED Tail
The NICHOLAS AIR RED TAIL has come to symbolize the best that the industry has to offer in terms of strength, quality, and comfort. At NICHOLAS AIR, pilots know they are in control of one of the industry’s youngest fleets, operated by a brand that is committed to being the BEST, not the BIGGEST. For passengers, a NICHOLAS AIR RED TAIL immediately evokes the feeling of comfort, class, and the highest standards in the world for the passenger experience. From the moment the passenger pulls into the FBO, the RED TAIL welcomes them home and lets them know they are about to embark on another flawless journey aboard the industry’s best fleet.
Why Wear A BLUE Tie
To passengers the BLUE TIES worn by NICHOLAS AIR pilots are a symbol of comfort, knowing that the company including the Founder and CEO has hand selected only the best aviators in the industry. It is no secret that being selected to be a part of the NICHOLAS AIR flight line is challenging and requires an unwavering level of integrity. The BLUE TIES and BLUE EPAULETTES, recognizable by passengers and pilots all across the country, are worn only by the most professional, courteous, and dedicated pilots in the industry. It is a badge of honor that is never just handed out, but earned, and earned the right way.
