FlyXcite is expanding its private aviation fleet with the addition of a Gulfstream G‑IV. Based at Houston William P. Hobby airport, the aircraft will be available for charter beginning April 2026 and will support private bookings for business travel, family travel and executive group movements throughout Texas and beyond.

The Gulfstream G‑IV brings long‑range capability, a spacious cabin and premium onboard service to the North American charter and aircraft management company’s portfolio. Configured to accommodate up to 16 passengers and large baggage, the heavy jet offers a range exceeding 4,000nm and a normal cruise speed of 476kts. The cabin layout includes club seating and lie‑flat options, complete with complimentary domestic wi‑fi, a dedicated flight attendant and full galley with complete catering capabilities.

The decision to expand into the Texas market reflects the state’s exceptional economic momentum and the growing demand for private aviation. Texas continues to attract major companies with its business‑friendly environment and sustained economic growth, creating a clear need for efficient, flexible transportation solutions. Home to more than 4,500 energy‑related companies, Houston is a global hub for the oil, gas and renewable energy industries and sits at the centre of this growing demand. Positioning this aircraft at Houston Hobby strengthens FlyXcite’s ability to serve the region’s energy, corporate and executive travellers with best-in-class, reliable service.

In this environment of rapid growth, the Gulfstream G‑IV fills a critical gap in the market. Its combination of performance, range and seating capacity allows entire teams to travel nonstop to hundreds of destinations across North and South America, Europe and beyond. For many travellers, especially business groups, achieving the same itinerary via commercial airlines would require flying into distant major hubs and driving for hours to reach smaller regional locations. The G‑IV eliminates these inefficiencies and provides direct access where commercial alternatives fall short.

“Texas represents one of the most dynamic and forward‑moving economies in the country, and we’re proud to deepen our commitment to the region with the addition of our Gulfstream G‑IV,” says Steve Gentry, VP of business development at FlyXcite. “Houston is the undisputed energy capital of the world, which allows us to meet rising demand with a premium, long‑range solution that serves both business and leisure travellers. We’re excited to continue expanding our investments within the Texas market, raising the bar for safety, comfort, reliability and service.”

The aircraft will be available for charter beginning in April 2026.
