Steve Hartley, executive director of Empire Aviation Group, said: “We have proven our aviation asset management business model and the US is the next opportunity, after our launch in India, in 2012. As the US market for new business jets recovers, this creates opportunities in the pre-owned sector as corporations and individuals take delivery of their new aircraft and more aircraft come onto the pre-owned market. We plan to follow up this first step into the US market with the introduction of our full service portfolio of aircraft management and aircraft charter.”
