USA Jet Airlines is an American cargo airline with its headquarters on the grounds of Willow Run Airport, and in Van Buren Township, Michigan.[2][3] USA Jet operates on-demand air charter freight, and formerly passenger flights out of Willow Run Airport.[4] USA Jet Airlines is a division of Ascent Global Logistics (formerly Active Aero Group).
A USA Jet DC-9 was used for the filming of the movie Cedar Rapids and another painted for We Are Marshall.
USA Jet flew the Mitt Romney/Paul Ryan presidential campaign flights for the 2012 election year. A VIP MD-83, registration N949NS, was used for Mitt Romney and a VIP DC-9-32, registration N215US was used for Paul Ryan.
In August 2013, USA Jet Airlines became the world's first operator of an MD-80 Passenger-to-Freighter conversion. The aircraft, converted by Aeronautical Engineers, Inc., competes against the Boeing 727 in the cargo market.[5]
In February 2023, USA Jet retired the last of their DC-9 fleet, consisting of 1 DC-9-30 (N208US) and 2 DC-9-10's (N192US, N196US).
