Premier Jet Center (PJC) is thrilled to celebrate its 10th anniversary, marking a decade of dedicated service, innovation and growth in the aviation industry. Established on 1 August, 2014 when sister company Fargo Jet Center (FJC) acquired its assets, PJC has since become a leading provider of comprehensive aviation services at Flying Cloud airport in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

General manager Michael Lawrence says: “Reflecting on the past decade, our growth has been nothing short of remarkable. This milestone is a testament to the hard work, dedication and passion of our entire team. We are immensely grateful to our loyal customers, partners and the aviation community for their unwavering support.”

In a strategic move to elevate its standards and service capabilities, PJC is to undertake a major remodelling and expansion of its facility. This significant project will introduce a new passenger terminal, additional hangar space and increased ramp area, allowing it to better accommodate its growing clientele and to enhance amenities and space for the flight line operations, maintenance and paint and interior teams.

Jim Sweeney, president of FJC and PJC, comments: “Our journey with Premier Jet Center has been exceptional. From the outset, our goal was to provide top-tier service and foster strong relationships within the aviation community in the Minneapolis market and beyond. This upcoming expansion reaffirms our commitment to meeting the evolving needs of our clients and staying at the forefront of the industry.”

To commemorate 10 years of excellence, PJC hosted a vibrant celebration at its facility that brought together PJC's team members, valued customers and partners, and key community leaders. A highlight of the festivities was the official ribbon-cutting ceremony with the Eden Prairie Chamber of Commerce, marking a decade of success.
