Patriot Aviation has been appointed by Gulfstream Aerospace as an authorised agent for Gulfstream

mid-range business jets within the UK and Eire.

The agreement covers the mid-cabin, high-speed Gulfstream G100, the wide-cabin, high-speed G150 and the large-cabin, mid-range G200.

Mike Creed, md of sales and distribution for Patriot, said: “We were able to demonstrate to Gulfstream that we have the connections necessary to increase Gulfstream aircraft sales in the UK and Eire.

“We continue to develop our fixed-wing and helicopter sales, training, engineering and charter operations and we are delighted to have entered into this important new distributorship agreement.”

Meanwhile, Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation has appointed Patriot as one of two sales representatives for

the UK and Eire. Patriot says the new distributorship will significantly extend the range of its activities in helicopter charter, engineering, training and pre-owned aircraft sales.

It will sell Sikorsky helicopters to the UK and Irish civil markets, including the S-76C+, providing executive helicopter travel and the new S-92 large capacity, long distance civil helicopter, designed as an S-61 successor.

Creed said: “We have now attracted both Sikorsky and Gulfstream distributorships for the UK and Eire. This endorsement by two of the world’s most respected top of the range brands is tangible proof of Patriot’s business strategy to become the premier business aircraft sales organisation in the UK and Europe.”
