Fly Live Charter, Florida's fastest-growing FAA-approved air carrier, has proudly announced the expansion of its fleet with the addition of the reliable Piper Chieftain, the versatile Tecnam P2012 Traveller and the luxurious Citation 550. This growth marks a major milestone in the company's rise from a single-pilot operation to a thriving carrier with over six aircraft, dozens of employees and a reputation for delivering the most seamless, personalised travel to the Bahamas.

What began as a bold vision by founder Jonathan Stern, a commercial pilot with thousands of hours, has transformed into the number one private charter service flying between Fort Lauderdale and the Bahamas. Fly Live Charter has set the new standard for reliability, comfort and customer service in the Caribbean travel space.

“From the beginning, we've focused on doing things differently; fast communication, on‑time departures, clean, air‑conditioned cabins and an honest, transparent approach,” said Stern. “We've grown by delivering the kind of experience people expect from a top‑tier charter operator, and we're proud to be leading the charge in Bahamas travel.”

Fly Live Charter's fleet now includes:

- Piper Chieftain (PA‑31‑350): Twin‑engine dependability, ideal for quick hops to islands like Bimini, Marsh Harbour, North Eleuthera, Norman's Cay, Congo Town, Andros and South Bimini.

- Tecnam P2012 Traveller: A modern, nine‑passenger aircraft offering advanced safety, spacious cabins and exceptional reliability for family or group travel.

- Citation 550: A light jet offering the ultimate in speed and comfort for business or luxury travel throughout the Caribbean and beyond.

Recent flight history from Piper Chieftain N59982 demonstrates Fly Live's dominance in Bahamas travel: frequent flights to and from Norman's Cay, Congo Town, South Bimini, Marsh Harbour and more, strengthening the company's footprint across key Out Island destinations

With a dedicated team of highly trained pilots, maintenance personnel and customer service professionals, Fly Live Charter now operates multiple daily flights to key Bahamian destinations, serving both leisure travellers and second‑home owners seeking private, stress‑free alternatives to crowded commercial flights.

As demand continues to surge, Fly Live Charter remains committed to safety, customer satisfaction and operational excellence, all while keeping its focus rooted in the personalised service that made the company what it is today.
