Shell Aircraft International, based at Rotterdam Airport, operates aircraft for Royal Dutch Shell headquarters and for one Shell group operating company, Shell Oil Company in the United States. It also provides advice on air operations and flight standards to Shell group companies.
Prior to 2000, Shell Aircraft Limited operated corporate jets for Shell group headquarters, and Shell Oil and Shell Canada operated their aircraft independently. In 2000 the three operations were linked in Shell Aircraft International, whose first CEO was Brian Humphries.
On 4 October 2013 the operation of Shell Canada was closed down and all operations were contracted out to Flair Airlines Ltd.
