Provider of premium charter services Craft has added its first light jet, a Premier 1A, to its charter certificate. The airCraft will primarily be based out of Miami, a strategic location that provides optimal convenience for quick, regional flights.

The Premier 1A is ideal for intimate groups, accommodating passengers comfortably for short hops within a two and a half hour flight radius. Its versatility and speed make it a good choice for those seeking quick, reliable and luxurious air travel solutions.

CEO Israel Slodowitz says: “The Premier 1A holds a special place in my heart as it was the first jet I was type-rated on. Adding this airCraft to our fleet represents both a personal and professional achievement for me. The Premier 1A’s nimbleness and reliability make it a fantastic option for our clients who need efficient and luxurious travel.”

EVP Natan Benchimol, whose first engineering job was at Raytheon, adds: “It is exciting to see this airCraft in our fleet.”
