"First and foremost," says director of aviation Joel Encarnacion, "the Falcon 900 is a remarkable aircraft, renowned for its impressive range, speed, and spacious cabin. It strikes a perfect balance for our discerning clientele, combining performance with luxurious amenities. The decision to specialize in the Falcon 900 is rooted in our commitment to offering the best possible private aviation experience.

Its speed ensures efficiency, allowing our clients to reach their destinations promptly. The spacious cabin is a key factor that resonates with our clients; it's not just about getting from A to B but doing so in style and comfort."

This recent expansion is a strategic move aimed at enhancing operational capabilities, ensuring increased availability and flexibility for clients. Having a larger fleet means Portland can better accommodate the varying needs and schedules of its clientele. This Falcon is based in the Caribbean.

"When it comes to why our clients love the Falcon 900, it's a combination of factors," he continues. "The aircraft's reputation for reliability, performance, and comfort plays a significant role.
