Santini Air

Santini Air is a civilian air charter and stunt flying company based at Van Nuys Airport in California, owned and operated by [[Dominic Santini]], which provides a legitimate cover and operational base for the pilots involved with the high-tech helicopter [[Airwolf]].

Santini Air is a helicopter and aeroplane charter service, providing aircraft and skilled stunt pilots primarily for Hollywood film productions and private charters. Founded and run by veteran pilot Dominic Santini, the company operates out of a hangar at Van Nuys Airport in California. The business often features in the series, showcasing various aerial stunts and providing a legitimate backdrop for its protagonists.

The company holds significant importance within the Airwolf universe as it serves as the public-facing enterprise for Dominic Santini and Stringfellow Hawke. While Santini Air conducts its regular commercial activities, its facilities and personnel are integral to the covert operations involving the advanced military helicopter, Airwolf, which is typically stored in a secret, undisclosed location known as 'The Lair'. Dominic Santini, who raised Stringfellow Hawke, is not only the owner of Santini Air but also serves as Airwolf's co-pilot and weapons technician, occasionally piloting the craft himself.

Following Dominic Santini's death in the fourth season, his niece, Jo Santini, inherits Santini Air and subsequently becomes involved in the ongoing missions, taking on the role of a custodian for Airwolf. This transition ensures the continued operation of Santini Air as a vital component of the Airwolf team's activities.
