Priester Aviation adds new aircraft to managed fleet

Priester Aviation added five new aircraft in Q4 2021 to meet growing demand in both its owner use (Part 91) and charter revenue (Part 135) management services programs.

The diverse aircraft represent long-range, super-midsize, widebody and midsize options.

“These additions advance our goal of delivering incredibly high-quality, responsive services in key markets,” says Andy Priester, President and CEO of Priester Aviation. “More and more people recognize the unrivaled flexibility and benefits afforded by aircraft ownership and private charter flights. We see demand continuing to grow.”

The aircraft and their bases include:

Bombardier Global 6000, Chicago
Gulfstream G500, North Dakota
Falcon 2000LXS, Florida
Bombardier Challenger 300, Michigan
Learjet 45, Oklahoma

Falcon 2000LXS, Florida.

Since its founding in 1945, Priester Aviation has evolved into a multidisciplinary global aircraft management and on-demand charter company. Its leadership torch passed to a third generation last year with Charlie Priester transitioning to Chairman Emeritus and his son, Andy, assuming the role of Chairman and CEO. Under Andy’s leadership, the Priester Aviation fleet has grown from seven to 75 aircraft.

A new management program launched last summer with Jet Support Services, Inc. (JSSI) Parts & Leasing serves to streamline procurement and realize efficiencies that free Priester team members to focus on their primary objective of delivering personalized, there-for-you customer service.
