MTJ Aviation, a private charter service launched by 2017 NASCAR champion Martin Truex Jr., is now transporting lifesaving organs and surgical teams across the country. The company, which transports Truex Jr. to NASCAR events, began transitioning during the Covid-19 pandemic to also become a vital service provider for transplant centers across the U.S.
“I decided to launch a private aviation charter company because of our experience flying to NASCAR races every weekend over the last decade or so,” said Truex Jr., who is now retired from driving in the NASCAR Cup series. “Over the past five years, MTJ Aviation has evolved into lifesaving missions 24/7 where performance, safety, and the look of our aircraft is critically important.”
MTJ Aviation operates a fleet of five Hawker 400XPs that can fly up to 1,700 miles nonstop. The twinjets are equipped to handle medical missions, offering a cabin volume of 368.3 cubic feet and accommodating up to eight passengers.
“We’re typically flying surgical teams around the clock. They want to see an airplane that not just looks nice, but presents the image of something that’s well-kept and shows professionalism,” said MTJ Aviation chief pilot and director of operations Guy Cooper. Sherwin-Williams Aerospace Coatings maintains the exterior coatings for the company's aircraft.
