George J. Priester Aviation, parent company of Priester Aviation, Mayo Aviation and Hill Private Aviation, added 14 business jets to its managed fleet in 2024. The company now oversees nearly 90 aircraft, with new additions based in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, New York and Singapore.

The new aircraft include Cessna Citation models XLS, XLS+, CJ1, CJ3 and X; a Gulfstream G150 and G550; a Learjet 60; a Nextant 400XT; a Bombardier Challenger 350; a Dassault Falcon 2000LX; an Embraer Praetor 500; and two Phenom 300s.

The company’s fleet expansion follows other 2024 milestones, including the nationwide rollout of the 1945 Card, an enhanced jet card programme and key leadership appointments such as CFO Ron Carlstrom and national charter sales director Rustin King. Chairman Andy Priester was also recognised with the NATA Distinguished Service Award in November.

President and CEO Brent Moldowan says: “Aircraft owners are responding to the expertise, support and capabilities our teams offer at our regional bases. They value the personalised attention and values we can provide, along with the nationwide and international resources to enhance their ownership experience.”
