Nicholas Air, a US provider of fractional ownership and private jet card programmes, has launched its 10-year anniversary jet card by awarding a personal jet card to a senior captain on his 10th anniversary with the company.

The renowned leader in luxury private aviation recently announced its new 10-year anniversary jet card, an industry-leading initiative designed to honour and reward the company's longest-serving aviators. Under the new programme, pilots reaching an esteemed decade of excellence with Nicholas Air are awarded their very own jet card, which allows them to experience its fleet's elite tier of private travel from the cabin instead of the cockpit.

The programme underscores Nicholas Air's commitment to retaining its top-tier aviation talent. By transforming the very best pilots into brand members, the company offers a unique reward that mirrors the exact standard of excellence these aviators deliver to its passengers.

Celebrating the programme's debut, Nicholas Air has recognised Phenom 300 captain Rob Milner as the first recipient of the longevity award. Captain Milner's career embodies the discipline and precision the programme aims to celebrate.

As a veteran of the United States Air Force, Milner spent over eight years forging a foundation of strict professionalism and mission focus. Following his military career, he served as a flight instructor, flew specialised pipeline patrols in a Cessna Caravan and managed corporate operations in the Pilatus PC-12. He joined Nicholas Air in 2016 as a PC-12 captain, subsequently transitioning to the Phenom 100 and Phenom 300 airframes as the fleet evolved.

Across his decade of service, Milner has become one of the operation's most trusted constants, known for providing elite service and quiet confidence to Nicholas Air members. Based in Houston, Texas, alongside his wife and three daughters, he can now enjoy the skies with his family, utilising his new jet card.

“Our pilots are the backbone of the Nicholas Air experience,” notes Brian Portera, chief pilot of Nicholas Air. “The 10-year anniversary jet card programme is our way of thanking elite and tenured captains like Rob Milner who have dedicated years to upholding our uncompromising safety and service standards. We are proud to welcome him as an official member.”
