George J. Priester Aviation's fleet of managed aircraft continues to grow, as the US aviation services company gathers momentum throughout its regional bases and internationally. Through its three brands – Priester Aviation, Mayo Aviation and Hill Private Aviation – the company has added 10 aircraft in 2025 to its roster of nearly 90 managed aircraft.

“This growth is the direct result of a commitment to outstanding aircraft management across George J. Priester Aviation,” says Brent Moldowan, president and CEO of George J. Priester Aviation. “We've been successful in offering management programmes that fit what owners need, whether it's first-time owners who benefit from an excellent onboarding process and team support or seasoned owners who are knowledgeable about the quality of the service elements provided. The George J. Priester difference is showing up in a relevant way as aircraft owners seek out better management, recommended by people they trust.”

The additions include Colorado, Illinois and Texas-based aircraft, and one more to the company's international roster in Thailand. The diversity of the managed fleet is also growing, as aircraft include Gulfstreams, Cessna Citations, Dassault Falcon Jets, an Embraer Praetor 500 and a Bombardier Learjet 45. The company is also now managing a Boeing Business Jet based in Texas.

The company, through its three brands of Priester Aviation, Mayo Aviation and Hill Private Aviation, provides comprehensive aircraft management solutions and tailored support, in crewing, flight operations and maintenance coordination, among other personalised services.

“Each of our bases in the Midwest, Rocky Mountain West and Southeast have created a culture of above-and-beyond service that anticipates and exceeds aircraft owners' needs,” comments Rich Ropp, chief sales and services officer. “Adding to that is our ability to successfully manage aircraft where it's convenient for the owner, making their home base our base, too.”

Celebrating its 80th anniversary, George J. Priester Aviation remains a family-owned leader in private aviation, offering management, charter and jet card services to a growing clientele.
