Elevate Jet acquires Boeing 757 for private client

It will not be available for general charter, reserved exclusively for use by the acquiring client.

Elevate Jet has acquired a VIP-configured Boeing 757-200 on behalf of a long-standing private client.

The aircraft seats up to 50 passengers in a VIP configuration, placing it in a different category to the largest purpose-built business jets from manufacturers such as Bombardier, Gulfstream and Dassault, which typically accommodate 12 to 14 passengers.

“Like many of our music touring, professional sports and governmental clients that absolutely have to arrive at their destinations on time, this unnamed client was looking for a solution to safely and efficiently transport up to 50 passengers at a time in a truly VIP fashion,” said Greg Raiff, founder and CEO of Elevate Aviation Group.

“Over my 35 years in aviation, I am still surprised by the lack of supply of these VIP airliners in the US private aviation market.”

The aircraft is currently being conformed as part of Elevate’s managed fleet and is slated to receive high-speed satellite WiFi later this year.

It will not be available for general charter, reserved exclusively for use by the acquiring client.
