Elit'Avia Americas expands fleet and management team in support of growth
Elit’Avia Americas announces managed fleet additions and key appointments to its management team in support of demand and future growth.
Newburgh, NY, October 10, 2023 – Elit’Avia Americas, a privately held provider of fully integrated private aviation solutions, today announced the addition of a Challenger 3500 and Legacy 500 to its fleet of aircraft under management in addition to appointments to key management positions.
“Our Legacy 500 and Challenger 3500 are located on the west coast and are expected to join our charter fleet later in the year. With operating ranges of 3,125nm and 3,400nm respectively, they boast short field performance and steep approach capabilities, enabling our charter clients to operate in and out of some of the more challenging airports, such as Aspen, CO, as well as reaching Hawaii from Los Angeles, making both aircraft perfect fits to our growing fleet.” says Kevin Rodgers, President, Elit’Avia Americas. “I would also like to thank ZenithJet Inc. for their oversight of the delivery process of the Challenger 3500, which enabled us to onboard the aircraft on schedule.”
In support of our growth, Elit’Avia Americas is proud to announce the following appointments to our management team:
Renee Skiles, Director of Charter Sales and Client Experience
