Jet Edge Reaches New Heights

Jet Edge Reaches New Heights, Adds 50th Business Jet to Its Growing Fleet

Jet Edge, the largest domestic manager and operator of exclusively long-range and large-cabin private jets, announced this month that the company has reached 50 business jets in their managed aircraft fleet. More than a measure of fleet size, this milestone further positions Jet Edge as not only the leader in large-cabin business jet management but also highlights the company’s highly developed safety culture, programs, and exceptionally talented staff members required to support its consistent growth while maximizing value for clients.

“This time last year we were celebrating our successful growth with the addition of our 36th large-cabin jet, with another eight aircraft to arrive by the end of 2015,” stated Bill Papariella, chief executive officer of Jet Edge International. “We continue to prove with our ongoing growth that our investment in safety, standards, service, channel sales, crew resources, and new operating hubs on the east coast have helped drive our managed aircraft business to new heights.”

The newest additions to the Jet Edge charter fleet are a late model Gulfstream G550 based in New York; three Gulfstream G200 super-midsize jets based in Los Angeles, Palm Beach, and New York; a later model Challenger 605 with dual bases in Toronto and Miami; a Gulfstream GV based in Palm Beach; a Las Vegas-based Gulfstream G280; and a Los Angeles-based Gulfstream G450 and GIVSP.

“Jet Edge continues to be a valuable partner to operators, brokers, and charter consumers throughout the aviation community,” stated Geoff Makely, Jet Edge’s executive vice president and general manager. “Our large-cabin expertise and expanding fleet of like model aircraft provide consistent availability and reliability for our partners and clients. It’s no secret that the source of our success and our ability to reach this key milestone is directly tied to the people behind Jet Edge, continued investments in our operating platform, and attention to customer service,” Makely added.

Earlier this year, Jet Edge entered a number of new strategic agreements with a large sales channel that have added 5,000 incremental hours annually to the company’s charter fleet, which provides a direct and positive benefit for Jet Edge’s growing list of aircraft owners.
