Jet Aviation expands US managed fleet and charter offering
Jet Aviation has welcomed 39 new aircraft and owners into its managed fleet this year, and has added 16 mid-size to ultra-long-range aircraft to its Part 135 air carrier certificate.
Jet Aviation currently manages over 300 aircraft globally and a charter fleet accessing thousands of aircraft, from business liner to mid-size cabin.

Jet Aviation has added 39 aircraft to its managed fleet in the US since the beginning of the year. 16 aircraft have also been added to the company’s Part 135 air carrier certificate.

“We are delighted to have welcomed these 39 new aircraft and owners into our fleet this year,” says David Dalpiaz, vice president flight services. “Our experience managing aircraft of all sizes, either operating Part 91, Part 125, Part 135 or Bermuda and Cayman Islands, means that we are able to tailor our offering to meet the needs of any owner and ensure a seamless service that evolves with their aircraft ownership journey.”

The 16 aircraft added to the Part 135 certificate include a range of mid-size to ultra-long-range aircraft, from Praetor 600 and Hawker 900XP to Gulfstream 500 and 600.

“We are incredibly proud to be able to offer such a wide range of aircraft for charter as a Part 135 operator,” says Leslie Cheshier, vice president owner and charter services. “Our charter customers trust us to understand their needs and provide solutions that enable them to get wherever they need to be, however they need to get there. These additions, alongside our existing fleet of some 55 aircraft in the US, and hundreds more via our partners, ensure that we continue to offer customers the choices that make their journey effortless.”
