Prime Jet celebrates 13 years
While the company has been certificated for over 21 years, it is celebrating its 13 year anniversary under the ownership of Cheryl Janke, Andrew Gulsrud and Elizabeth McGraw.
Prime Jet celebrates 13 years under new ownership.

US-based Gulfstream aircraft management and private charter operator Prime Jet is celebrating its 13th anniversary this month. Since its inception in 2002, Prime Jet has grown from a modest team of four employees to over 100 dedicated professionals. In June 2011 it was acquired by key members of its leadership team Cheryl Janke, Andrew Gulsrud and Elizabeth McGraw, so while the company has been certificated for over 21 years, it is celebrating the 13 year anniversary under the new ownership.

Prime Jet specialises in operating a fleet of Gulfstream aircraft, including the Gulfstream G650, GV, G550, GIV and G450 models. These aircraft are equipped with the latest technology, luxurious interiors and exceptional range capabilities, offering clients a variety of options for their travel needs.

"Our journey has been driven by delivering exceptional service and creating lasting relationships based on trust, transparency and respect," says Janke. "Over the next 12 months, our goal is to expand our fleet for both charter and Part 91 aircraft management as well as grow our relationships with current and new customers."

The company, which has logged over 115,000 safely dispatched hours across 190 countries, is headquartered in Englewood, Colorado and operates from hubs in Van Nuys, California; Teterboro, New Jersey; and Opa Locka, Florida. The majority of the fleet is floating for point-to-point pricing and no owner approval is required.
