Elevate Jet has completed the first passenger flight aboard its 30-passenger Embraer ERJ. The aircraft represents the next step in a comprehensive acquisition strategy to grow the Elevate Jet fleet and expand a suite of progressive services offered to aircraft owners and flyers. Additional ERJ aircraft are forthcoming.

This addition is a versatile turbojet aircraft with four hours of flying time, state-of-the-art avionics, large windows, generous luggage capacity and executive leather-upholstered seats.

The regional jet is designed for 37 seats, but has been configured to seat 30 passengers for additional comfort. With a pitch of 36 inches, the seating offers more room for passengers' legs and luggage. In addition, the fully integrated stairs ease access to smaller airports and FBOs.

Elevate Jet provides customised air charter and on-demand VIP flight solutions, utilising a wide selection of on-fleet and off-fleet aircraft, including executive and regional jets. Serving flyers and aircraft owners, the company also offers a range of aircraft management, advisory and consultancy services.

“We have flight solutions for all types of air travel, for large and small groups, short hops and long hauls,” says Scott LaForge, president. “It is the ideal air transportation solution for groups too large for a typical large cabin executive jet and too savvy to incur the expense of an airliner. Delivering the first passenger flight was a milestone we are extremely proud of, and we are looking forward to delivering many more of its kind.”

Elevate Jet's ERJ will be available for viewing during select dates during February.
