A message from Jerry Holland
We at Sheltair are committed to excellence – a philosophy that can be seen in everything we do. Because of our heritage in the construction and aviation industry, we understand the importance of quality design, customer service, cost containment and on-time delivery.
These are the building blocks on which I founded Sheltair. Through the years, they have served as the guidelines that govern the way we do business. Ultimately, they’re also the reasons we’re recognized as a leader in the aviation facility construction, property management, and general aviation industries in Florida and across the Eastern United States. We are thankful to have such a wonderful team of more than 500 employees. Their talents and skills are the reason for our success with our customers. Their commitment to safety and excellence, combined with their training and years of experience, is what makes a difference.
