Grand Aire is a classic example of the American dream being realized. The company started in 1985 like many small businesses do, built on the dreams of an entrepreneur with the intelligence and determination to overcome all obstacles. Founder Tahir Cheema arrived in the United States eleven years earlier to attend the University of Alabama. That day in 1974, he had $40 in his pocket, but his drive to succeed was as big as America itself.T.C. achieved another goal after his college days where he got his degree in Engineering. While working at Ford as a design engineer, he earned a private pilot’s certificate in 1980 and purchased his first aircraft a few years later. Armed with his pilot’s certificate and his first aircraft, a Piper Arrow, Tahir began flying freight for the ‘Big 3’ automakers. His reputation for hard work grew along with the demand for his services. When Cheema expanded the operation and started the company, customers were promised “30 minutes wheels up”, a previously unheard of guarantee in the charter freight industry.

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey bridges the sometimes-troubled waters between the two states and helps with many of the region's other transportation needs. The bi-state agency operates and maintains airports, tunnels, bridges, a commuter rail system, shipping terminals, and other facilities (such as the World Trade Center complex) within the Port District, an area surrounding the Statue of Liberty. A self-supporting public agency, the Port Authority receives no state or local tax money. It relies on tolls, fees, and rents. Airport operations account for the majority of the its revenue. The two governors each appoint six of the 12 members of the agency's board and review the board's decisions.
