Fly Live branches into jet flights with Citation II
The addition of the Citation 550 allows Fly Live Charter to serve a broader range of missions, from regional and cross-country travel to routes throughout the US, the Caribbean, Central America, Mexico and Canada.
The jet can access thousands of airports.

Fly Live Charter, an FAA Part 135 operator based in South Florida, is expanding its capabilities with the addition of jet operations. Effective immediately, a Citation 550, which it acquired last summer, is now available for charter, marking a milestone in the company’s growth and commitment to offering clients greater flexibility, speed and comfort.

The addition of the Citation 550 to its charter fleet allows Fly Live Charter to serve a broader range of missions, from regional and cross-country travel to international routes throughout the US, the Caribbean, Central America, Mexico and Canada. Known for its reliability and performance, the Citation 550 offers nonstop capability, a smooth and quiet ride, and the ability to access thousands of airports, including smaller executive airports often unavailable to commercial airlines.

Configured to accommodate up to seven passengers, the Citation 550 delivers a true private jet experience with pressurised comfort, increased cruise speeds and significantly reduced travel times. Clients can expect Fly Live Charter’s signature white-glove service, including personalised flight planning, flexible scheduling and an experienced professional flight crew.

“Adding jet operations is a natural next step for our company,” comments Jonathan Stern, president and chief pilot of Fly Live Charter. “Our clients trust us with their travel, and the Citation 550 allows us to give them even more options, whether that’s flying farther, faster or with greater comfort, while maintaining the service standards that set Fly Live apart.”

Fly Live Charter has built a strong reputation for reliability, safety and customer-focused service, particularly in high-frequency charter markets such as South Florida and the Bahamas. The expansion into jet aircraft reflects growing demand from existing clients and positions the company for continued fleet growth, including future turboprop and jet additions.

The Citation 550 is available immediately for corporate travel, family vacations and special events.
