Nicholas Air adds five as measured fleet growth continues
The additions comprise three Phenom 300E and two Citation Latitude jets, reflecting sustained demand across short and mid-range operations.
The Phenom 300 is capable of reaching Mach 0.80, making in the fastest single pilot jet in production.

Nicholas Air has expanded its fleet with five aircraft deliveries, including three Embraer Phenom 300E light jets and two Cessna Citation Latitude mid-size jets. The additions were driven by the mission profiles requested by jet card members, while maintaining a focus on safety, efficiency and cabin comfort.

As some providers accelerated fleet expansion, Nicholas Air remained committed to a conservative growth strategy designed to protect service quality and operational consistency as new aircraft were introduced.

The deliveries also supported the company’s pilot-first culture by creating structured internal upgrade pathways for its Part 135 flight crews.

“Adding these Phenom 300E and Citation Latitude aircraft allows us to continue our tradition of promoting from within,” says Nicholas Correnti, founder and CEO of Nicholas Air. “Providing our pilots with the opportunity to upgrade internally to larger, more complex airframes is a key part of our retention strategy and ensures our flight crews are the most experienced in the industry.”

With a fleet spanning from the Phenom 100 to the Gulfstream G600, the new aircraft filled a capability gap for members seeking additional speed, range and cabin flexibility without sacrificing the personalised service model central to the Nicholas Air jet card programme.
