Company Description
Altair International Corp. (ATAO) is described in its public communications as a diversified holding company. According to multiple company updates, its strategy is to acquire and develop interests in a range of profitable ventures, with a focus over time on sectors such as energy, minerals, technology, and related applications.
More recent disclosures highlight a significant corporate development: Altair International Corp. completed a merger with Premier Air Charter, Inc., resulting in Premier Air Charter becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the company. The company has also indicated that it intends to file for a name and symbol change to reflect this new direction. Altair trades on the OTCQB market under the symbol ATAO.
Business focus and holdings
Altair has repeatedly characterized itself as a diversified holding company whose strategy is to acquire interests in ventures within the energy, minerals, and technology sectors. Past updates describe activities in lithium battery technology through its wholly owned subsidiary EV Lithium Solutions, Inc. (EVLS), and resource projects involving lithium and rare earth elements through earn-in agreements on the Stonewall Lithium Project in southwestern Nevada and the Kingman Rare Earth Project in northwestern Arizona.
With the completed merger, a central operating asset of Altair is now Premier Air Charter, which is described as a San Diego/Carlsbad, California-based aircraft charter provider and provider of luxury private jet services. Company communications state that Premier operates a diverse in-house fleet that includes light jets, turbojets, mid-size and larger jets, and heavy jets, and that it offers private jet charter flights, aircraft management, maintenance, and aircraft sales and acquisitions.
Premier Air Charter subsidiary
Premier Air Charter is portrayed as serving an international community of aviation enthusiasts and private air travel clients. The company emphasizes personalized service, attention to detail, and safety standards in its operations. Disclosures note that Premier owns or leases most of the aircraft on its operating certificate and maintains in-house maintenance capabilities, which the company believes are important to its ability to grow its fleet and manage aircraft directly.
Public statements also indicate that Premier has focused on small and mid-cabin jet charters and has expanded its fleet through acquisitions of additional aircraft, including large-cabin jets. The company has discussed applying for a "10 or more" passenger FAA certificate in connection with the acquisition of two Gulfstream IV aircraft, and has highlighted plans to expand into higher-value charter opportunities.
Energy storage and technology activities
Earlier Altair updates describe EV Lithium Solutions, Inc. (EVLS) as a wholly owned subsidiary working on proprietary battery technology referred to as an Energy Storage Unit (ESU). Company communications state that the ESU is based on a solid-state graphene architecture and, in later updates, that the company has eliminated the use of lithium in the ESU, describing it as a battery that utilizes electric fields without electrochemical reactions. Altair has reported that it engaged patent counsel to prosecute patent applications for this technology and that development and testing have been ongoing.
Altair has also described potential applications of the ESU technology for electric vehicles and other uses, noting internal testing and comparisons to conventional lithium batteries. The company has characterized this technology as development-stage and has indicated that further development and testing are required before it could be considered for publicly available applications.
Minerals and resource projects
Altair has reported involvement in mineral exploration projects through earn-in agreements. Company news releases describe the Stonewall Lithium Project in southwestern Nevada, consisting of unpatented placer mining claims located in a basin adjacent to Clayton Valley, and the Kingman Rare Earth Project in northwestern Arizona. Altair has disclosed that it holds the right to earn up to a 60% interest in these projects under an agreement with American Lithium Minerals, Inc.
Altair has announced soil and sediment sampling programs at Stonewall, including shallow-depth sampling across multiple claim blocks, laboratory analysis of samples for lithium and other elements, and identification of anomalous lithium values. The company has stated that it has maintained claims in good order with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and has discussed intentions to work toward a technical resource estimate when feasible.
Corporate development and strategy
Over several years of public updates, Altair has described a strategy of acquiring and developing interests in energy storage technology, mineral projects, and now private aviation through Premier Air Charter. The merger with Premier Air Charter represents a notable shift in the composition of its holdings, with company communications emphasizing Premier’s role as a core operating business and the expectation of corporate actions such as a potential name and symbol change to align with this focus.
Altair has also reported an upgrade to the OTCQB tier on OTC Markets, describing this as a change that could increase visibility and broaden access to investment interest. Across its disclosures, the company has framed its activities as part of a broader approach to building value through holdings in multiple sectors.
Company classification
While some third-party categorizations may list ATAO under manufacturing-related categories, the company’s own public statements describe it as a diversified holding company with interests in energy storage technology, mineral exploration, and private aviation through Premier Air Charter. Investors researching ATAO should consider both the historical resource and technology activities and the more recent emphasis on private jet charter operations following the merger.
