Although we have two names, we are one company. In 1985, Freight Runners Express began flying cargo throughout Wisconsin with one single engine airplane. In 1992, we added passenger service using the name Air Charter Express. Since then, FRE/ACE has grown tremendously, and now operates a fleet of 26 aircraft throughout North America. This longevity and growth have given us the first-hand experience necessary to provide safe and reliable flights.
We are a growing company with plenty of room to advance your career and increase pay based on job performance, upgrades and duration of employment. We are proud to be a drug and alcohol-free workplace and require pre-employment and random prohibited substance testing. Each applicant must be a United States citizen or have the right to work in the United States. FRE/ACE is an equal opportunity employer.
