Californian US Part 135 operator Premier Air Charter has acquired the leases of four Cessna Citation X aircraft. One of the four aircraft is already at the company's Carlsbad headquarters, and the other three are expected to arrive within the coming weeks. The addition of the aircraft bolsters Premier's fleet and continues the progress made by the company in recent years.

“We're really excited to announce the arrival of these aircraft,” says CEO Ross Gourdie. “The Citation X is a wonderful aircraft that's fast and comfortable, and we're happy to add more to our fleet.

“We are now able to provide a faster and more efficient service to our clients and fly them anywhere they need to go, for business or pleasure. The plan is for the newly-added aircraft to 'float' anywhere in North and Central America and the Caribbean.”
