Elite Jets Hires Pilots To Meet Demand For Charter
The Florida-based fleet includes a Bell 407 helicopter and five twinjets—four Embraer Phenom 300s and a Legacy 500.
Elite Jets Charters has hired six MORE pilots in anticipation of sustained demand for private flying, the Naples, Florida–based operator recently announced. The hires bring its Naples Airport–based pilot ranks to a total of 18 with a combined 57 million nautical miles of flying experience.
Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Elite Jets has implemented additional safety protocols for passengers and staff, including new cleaning procedures for its terminal as well as for its fleet, which includes a Bell 407 helicopter and five twinjets—four Embraer Phenom 300s and a Legacy 500. The heightened safety measures add another layer of reassurance for customers who are opting to fly privately, the company said.
