George J. Priester Aviation recently added six new aircraft to its managed fleet, bringing its roster to nearly 100 aircraft.

The additions include a mix of aircraft types and sizes, distributed across three nationwide bases and managed by Mayo Aviation, Priester Aviation, and Omni Air Transport.

Breakdown

The company’s nationwide support bases will manage Priester’s new aircraft.

Three of the jets will be under Priester’s Part 135 certificate.

They will be based in Colorado, Texas, and Wisconsin: 

• Bombardier Global 6000 at Centennial Airport (APA), Englewood, CO
• Bombardier Global XRS at Dallas Love Field (DAL), Dallas, TX
• Gulfstream G280 at Sheboygan County Memorial Airport (SBM), Sheboygan Falls, WI

The other three will be managed for owners under Part 91.

CEO Brent Moldowan said, “Our aircraft owners value experienced, relationship-driven management.

Moldowan continued, “We’re seeing tremendous momentum throughout our regions because owners appreciate the expertise of a local team supported by the depth and resources of national coverage.”
