Elite Air Sees Tremendous Q3 Growth

Elite Air has added a brand new Embraer Praetor 600 and Bombardier Challenger 300 to its fleet and grown its roster of Hawker jets to five with the addition of two new airframes.

“This past quarter has been one of tremendous growth for us,” Elite Air President AJ Becker said. “Our fleet is as large as it has ever been at more than 30 aircraft, and the majority are extremely charter friendly. Our capacity to serve both management and charter customers has never been better.”

The new aircraft have also significantly grown Elite Air’s geographic footprint, with homebases in Los Angeles, Patterson, Louisiana, and Fort Lauderdale. For more information on each of the new jets, see the profiles below.
