NAFA member, AIC Title Services provides aircraft title, registration, and escrow services. Located just a few miles from the FAA’s Civil Aircraft Registry in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, it has conducted more than 125,000 title searches over its 32-year history and closed aircraft sales transactions with parties from more than 150 countries.
When current owners Clay and Holly Healey bought the 14-year-old company in 2003, it had four employees who worked with IBM Selectric typewriters. To modernize the operation and workflow, the Healeys installed computers in the office and reduced the time it took to complete title searches from weeks to days.
The National Air Transportation Association elected to partner with AIC in 2010 when the FAA set forth rules that required all U.S.-registered aircraft to reregister over the next three years. The partnership program provided both hand delivery of aircraft registrations to the FAA and a Web-based interface for tracking.
