Dumont Jets West, the US west coast franchise of Dumont Aviation Group headquartered in New Castle, Delaware, is expanding its operations in southern California. Dumont has signed a lease to expand its footprint at John Wayne airport to hangar its managed charter aircraft and better serve its aircraft owners and charter clients.

“Key to our growth is the ability to show aircraft owners and charter clients the wealth of support, convenience and efficiency we offer here in southern California. With our expansion at SNA, our clients will benefit from the Dumont concierge level of 'high touch' service they experience in other parts of their lives, what one client affectionately referred to as refreshing first-class personal touch and attention,” says director Tim Lomakin. “We're offering and delivering the level of service aircraft owners want and deserve.”

According to chief business officer Joe Martin: “When you're an ARGUS Platinum rated operator like we are at Dumont, and you deliver the level of service that Tim is providing to our clients on the west coast, growth is the natural consequence. Our southern California base will continue to be a focus of our planned expansion.”
