Elevate Jet adds Challenger 650 to South Korean market
Elevate Jet has expanded its international charter operations with Private Jet Services (PJS) Korea, adding a Bombardier Challenger 650 to the South Korean market.
PJS Korea has been appointed by Florida-based Elevate Jet as its ambassador and in-market agent in South Korea.
“The introduction of the Challenger 650 is the first step in a large-scale capital investment program in APAC, a region we view as an important and growing market for Elevate Aviation Group,” said Randy McKinney, president and chief financial officer of Elevate Aviation Group. “We are committed to expanding our fleet and infrastructure here to meet rising demand for premium charter solutions.”
The Challenger 650 offers passengers seating for up to 12, a dedicated galley and lavatory. While the aircraft’s range of more than 4,000nm connects South Korea directly to destinations including the US and Middle East.
“We are proud to introduce the Challenger 650 to the South Korean market,” said Serapina Park, president of PJS Korea. “This milestone reflects our deep commitment to serving clients in South Korea with the highest levels of service and safety, while positioning Elevate Jet as a leader in premium charter travel across the region.”
In July, Elevate Jet received certification to operate large aircraft, such as the Airbus Corporate Jet, Embraer Lineage 1000 and Boeing Business Jet. The authorisation means Elevate can conduct large aircraft operations, management, demonstration flights, structured leasing opportunities and more, it said.
