Air Transport Charter (C.I.) Limited was a Jersey based charter and cargo airline from 1947 to 1950.2
The company was formed in July 1946 to carry out passenger and cargo charters from the Channel Islands mainly to England. Operations were started in March 1947 but came to a halt on 31 October 1952. The 1950 takeover of fellow Island Air Charters, which had also operated schedules from 1947 to 1949, had not helped. The airline's reputation had been damaged by two crashes, the worst being that of March 1951.
