As a scheduled commuter operator, Star Air has a fleet of Embraer ERJ145, which are the best in their class. Operating a new fleet gives this airline a strong advantage in its mission to provide its customers with outstanding service.

Star Air currently has two aircraft in service and five additional Embraer EJ145-LR aircraft on order, all with a passenger capacity of 50.
