Aviation Worldwide Services, LLC

Aviation Worldwide Services LLC (AWS) is a sister company to Presidential Airways, Inc., both of which are owned by Blackwater USA, Melbourne, FL. AWS owns the planes, and Presidential Airways operates them.

The company appears to provide air services to the CIA - flight records show that its N964BW has made at least two trips to the agency's Camp Peary training facility,, N963BW went there in March and April 2009 and N962BW went there in May 2006. Another plane it owns, N968BW, flew from Washington Dulles International Airport to Camp Peary on March 13, 2007.

In October 2005, the Washington Post reported that AWS is a defendant in a wrongful death suit in the U.S. District Court in Florida, brought by the families of the three soldiers killed when the company's N960BW (Blackwater 63) crashed in Afghanistan. The co-defendants are Presidential Airways Inc., STI Aviation Inc. and Air Quest Inc. The suit alleges negligence.
