The History of AJL International Chauffeured Transportation

Building a Transportation Legacy

Our story begins with a young man’s dream and a father’s wisdom. In 1992, Matthew Johnston stood at the crossroads of opportunity, armed with invaluable industry knowledge passed down through generations and connections forged over decades. His father, Neal, had been a pioneer in the Dallas-Fort Worth transportation scene since 1967, building a reputation that spanned from intimate funeral services to high-energy rock star tours during his tenure with the Carey of Dallas franchise.

What started as Johnston Limousines in 1995 would become something far greater than Matthew and his brother Michael initially imagined. Their merger with Accent Limousine in 1999 marked the birth of AJL International Worldwide Chauffeured Transportation. A name that would grow from a small fleet of limousines to encompass everything from executive sedans to charter buses, serving clients across cities worldwide.

AJL International History

It’s very hard to talk about AJL International without talking about its Owner and President – Matthew Johnston.

From Local Roots to Global Wings

Success in the transportation industry is more than just having great vehicles—it’s about understanding people and their needs. For seven transformative years, Matthew lived this truth, spending more time on the road than behind a desk. This wasn’t just dedication; it was education. Every mile traveled with A-list musicians, every corporate executive safely delivered, every wedding celebration perfectly orchestrated, taught him something new about what exceptional service truly means.

This hands-on approach to learning the business from the ground up proved invaluable. Today, that knowledge has blossomed into a network spanning over 450 cities worldwide, with strategic partnerships that ensure the same level of excellence whether you’re in Dallas or Dubai.

Smart Moves, Strategic Vision

Location matters in transportation, and Matthew understood this from day one. The 2012 move to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport wasn’t just about convenience—it was about positioning AJL International at the heart of one of America’s most dynamic metropolitan areas. The Metroplex, with its 12 counties and nearly 7 million residents, provided the perfect foundation for growth.

But growth requires space to breathe and expand. By 2020, success demanded an even bigger stage. The company’s new 40,000 square foot facility on four acres near DFW Airport isn’t just a headquarters—it’s a statement of intent. This expansive space represents our commitment to continued growth and innovation in the years ahead.

What We Do Today
