Flights numbers growing at Jet Edge International

Jet Edge International has ranked eighth in Aviation Research Group’s ‘Top US Part 135 Operators’ 2016 mid-year report.

The company flew nearly 9,000 charter hours by the midpoint of the year.

In August, Jet Edge ranked first by more than ten percent when calculating average distance per flight segment, or cycle, on the company’s large-cabin fleet with 1,198 nautical miles per flight segment.

Earlier this year, Jet Edge reached another key milestone by ranking within the top ten domestic charter operators of 2015 by charter hours flown throughout last year. In 2016, the company is on track to move within the top six domestic charter operators by total charter hours flown.

The company is the sixth largest charter company by fleet size and second largest exclusively large-cabin fleet in the US.

Jet Edge’s yearly growth and performance are key partnerships they  established this year, as well as the company’s existing partnership with business jet partner Asia Jet in Hong Kong.
