Zantop Flying Service

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Zantop Flying Service was formed by brothers Duane, Lloyd, Howard and and Elroy Zantop as a partnership in 1946..^[1] The base of operations for the new company was Jackson, Michigan. At first, the fledgling company used light aircraft, and performed cargo duties for General Motors. In 1952 the company obtained a commercial operators permit and began to service Chrysler and Ford. A year later in 1953 they moved the operations to Wayne Major Airport, now Detroit Metro Airport.

The company continued under that name until becoming Zantop Air Transport in 1962.
