Our origins

From Sicily to international markets.

Founded in 1996 by Pino D'Urso and Daniela Caruso, Italy Aviation Service srl was Sicily’s first specialist air broker.

From the outset, IAS worked with local travel companies to develop services for the charter market.

As the business grew, IAS broadened its expertise and built lasting relationships with airlines, tour operators, travel agencies and other travel businesses. Today, IAS is an established name in air brokerage, both in Italy and internationally.
