By integrating Air Charter Advisors into the airport's service offerings, Sanderson Field strengthens its support across several key regional sectors. This includes international trade and border logistics.
Sault Ste. Marie Municipal airport (Sanderson Field), the gateway for the City of Sault Ste. Marie in Michigan, has commenced a strategic partnership with Pennsylvanian brokerage Air Charter Advisors to provide private jet charter and aviation consulting services.
The partnership is designed to improve access to safe, efficient private aviation for businesses, government agencies and international operators in the Eastern Upper Peninsula. As the Eastern Upper Peninsula continues to grow as a hub for international commerce and industrial development, this partnership ensures that Sanderson Field offers the same calibre of aviation logistics and safety oversight found at major metropolitan jet centres.
“We chose to partner with Air Charter Advisors because it brings a level of technical expertise and safety-first consulting that goes far beyond a simple booking service,” says Chandler Cass, airport manager at Sanderson Field. “Its ability to act as a professional bridge between our local infrastructure and a global fleet of vetted aircraft is invaluable. We wanted a partner that understands the unique requirements of a 24-hour Port of Entry and could provide our business community with high-level guidance on everything from on-demand travel to long-term aviation strategy.”
“Our role goes beyond simply arranging a flight; we provide a layer of aviation consulting that ensures every mission into or out of Sanderson Field is optimised for safety and efficiency,” notes Adam Steiger, president of Air Charter Advisors. “From vetting operators for the highest safety standards to navigating the international customs requirements unique to this border crossing, we act as a dedicated flight department for the Sault Ste. Marie community.”
By integrating Air Charter Advisors into the airport's service offerings, Sanderson Field strengthens its support across several key regional sectors. This includes international trade and border logistics, where ACA's expertise in international flight planning helps streamline arrivals for cross-border commerce at this critical US–Canada entry point. The partnership also enhances government and critical infrastructure support by providing rapid-response aircraft and logistical planning for agencies and contractors involved in regional maritime and infrastructure projects. In addition, it improves institutional and executive travel by delivering tailored flight solutions for higher education recruitment, specialised healthcare transport and corporate leadership requiring efficient and reliable travel.
Furthermore, the collaboration supports industrial maritime services by enabling time-sensitive transport for personnel and essential components within the regional shipping and manufacturing sectors.
Through this partnership, flights arranged via Air Charter Advisors are subjected to a rigorous safety-vetting process. Air Charter Advisors utilises third-party audits to ensure that only the highest-rated operators and flight crews are utilised, providing peace of mind for corporate flight departments and leisure travellers alike.
