Star Affiliates

STAR Transportation Management, Inc.

Transtar Transportation was established in 1986 and operated the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) multi-service concession at the Orlando International Airport from 1990 to 2001. Transtar had an exclusive contract to provide luxury sedan/limousine services to the Walt Disney World Complex since August 1993. Transtar continuously served Orlando with uncompromising levels of performance. However, the downturn in the economy, culminating in the events of September 11, 2001, had a very adverse effect on the company, Transtar was unable to continue operating all its services and ceased operating on October 17, 2001, at which time Star Transportation Management, Inc./ Star Taxi, Inc. commenced managing the limousine and sedan operations.

Star Taxi, Star’s affiliate company, was established in 1995, and is licensed by the City of Orlando and the Orlando International Airport. Since its inception, Star Taxi has operated the DBE taxi concession at Orlando International Airport.
