Air Apparent is pleased to offer continued service to domestic and worldwide artists and performers in film and music, working with you every step of your rise to success.  Since 1976 Air Apparent has grown-up with some of the finest artists and performers from their days back in the garage, to their umpteenth world tour.  Tour coordination is an art that few have mastered and fewer have survived from the stress, as world tours involve perhaps the most demanding travel.  Yet, our customers consistently pride us on our ability to make them travel in comfort and style, every mile.  So if your band is just getting on the road to becoming the next Rolling Stones and you need experienced travel and tour coordination; Air Apparent not only knows the road traveled and everyone along the way, but we paved it. 

Our vendors in hotel, chauffer services, charter and freight know us intimately and the level of service our clients require.  Throughout your tour the artists and performers, the band, crew and management, will be treated to truly "rock-star" treatment, from the company that defined the term.  From rock concerts, to symphonies, to sports teams, to circus acts; if you manage entertainment tours on the road we are the "go to" travel company. Our large group bookings and vendor discounts, often translate to competitive pricing even compared to do it yourself sites or direct with hotels, while maintaining our service level and saving your valuable time.

 

 

Where no other tour coordinator provides bundled freight, carnet and charter services, our affiliate Rock-It Cargo USA, Inc. is the de-facto standard in the entertainment shipping industry, handling almost every act in the world.  Our companies work together on show accounts to make sure that the entirety of the show rocks and rolls together as one unit.  So tight are we, that our office buildings are next to each other on the tarmac at Los Angeles International Airport for over twenty years.  

Add in our charter services Air Charter and you have just elevated to the A-List.  When bundled, these services allow what used to take three vendor relations to be handled in one call.  This enables our employees to work together with Rock-It's employees to handle any changes instantly, so that no matter what happens on the road, or how difficult the change, show travelers and their equipment move together in perfect harmony.  Nothing is worse than having your gear hung up in customs while the band is set to take stage and missing a show without rain sucks!

A few final perks that artists, performers and tour management have found to be extremely useful on the road.  Rock-It's international shipping of premium stock liquors, keeps the premiums rolling with the tour.  Few tour operators can offer this luxury service and only a handful of forwarders have the necessary licensing to import\export liquor through any country.  Where it can be impossible to find your favorites on the road in every country, you will find a traveling stocked bar a luxury only our clients boast.  Need an O2 bar for the stage, just tack it on like luggage.  To find out more information regarding this service, click here for a quote, Rock-It International Liquors.  Simply tell us how many bottles of what you need at every show and we roll them with you every step of your journey, to keep the party blazing. Rock-It also offers in-house carnet services to assure rapid transit of freight through customs and is one of the only forwarders to provide such service.
