A charter division of Cascade Air Transport
Ridgeline
Cascade Ridgeline · QZQ
Private charter, flown seriously. On-demand business aviation across the western United States, on OnAir.
What Ridgeline is
The charter arm of Cascade
Ridgeline is the private charter division of Cascade Air Transport. We fly point-to-point business aviation in fast, capable jets, the kind of on-demand flying a paying client would expect to be planned and flown with care.
We operate on OnAir, where the economy is real and the standards run higher. Where our parent airline keeps the door wide open, Ridgeline asks more of the pilots who fly it. That is the trade. The flying is more demanding, and the satisfaction of doing it well is the reward.
The fleet
Small and deliberate
Cessna Citation X
Long-range business jet
One of the fastest civilian aircraft ever built. Coast-to-coast reach when a charter calls for distance and speed.
Pilatus PC-24
Super versatile jet
Jet performance with the manners to use short, rough, and remote runways the big iron cannot touch.
Cirrus Vision Jet
Light personal jet
Single-engine, owner-flown, and right at home on shorter runways. The light end of the fleet for trips that do not need the big iron.
What it asks
A real commitment
Flying for Ridgeline is a commitment, and we are honest about that up front. Pilots hold their own OnAir subscription, and the operation expects payware-grade aircraft and a current, capable simulator.
None of this exists to keep people out. It is simply what serious charter flying on OnAir requires, and meeting it is part of what makes the flying worthwhile.
Part of something larger
Cascade Air Transport
Ridgeline does not stand alone. It is a division of Cascade Air Transport, a Pacific Northwest regional virtual airline built around respect, honest flying, and an accessibility-first community.
Cascade is free to join and welcomes sim pilots of every skill level. Ridgeline is where that same culture goes when the flying gets more demanding. If you are newer to all of this, start with Cascade and work your way over.
