International Limousine Service history

To reflect this new global strategy, in 1979 Dailey and Wolfington incorporated the company as Carey International, Inc.

Within four years Carey had more than tripled the size of its network, and by 1984 travelers could book a Carey vehicle in over 390 cities in 60 countries.

What began with one limousine in 1986 has grown into one of the largest, most successful executive transportation companies in Connecticut and the tri-state area.

When Matthew Johnston finished high school in 1992, he had two things going for him to begin his career: his knowledge of the limousine industry and his father’s connections.

AJL International Chauffeured Limousine and Transportation has been providing worldwide transportation services since 1995.

The company bought its first European operations in 1996, acquiring Camelot Barthropp Ltd. and Europcar Chauffeur Drive U.K. International, both based in London and with offices throughout the United Kingdom.

By the end of 1997, CIRS provided more than 27,000 screens of information, including services available in each city, customer profiles, airport greeting capabilities, and over 200,000 rates in both United States and foreign currencies.

After only one year of working at a local funeral home, Matthew Johnston launched Johnston Limousines – that was rebranded later as AJL International Worldwide Chauffeured Transportation after merging with Accent Limousine in 1999.

In 2012, Johnston relocated the company in the grounds of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.
