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

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.
