Maryland-based GrandView Aviation has taken delivery of three new Embraer Phenom 300s. The private jet charter operator now has 10 Phenom 300s, a Sikorsky S76-D, and a 2020 Bell 407 GXi.
The company recently launched a base in Scottsdale, its fifth location. GrandView also operates out of bases in Baltimore, Austin, Chicago, and Atlanta. Three more locations are slated for 2021.
“Going into 2021, a safe and private way to travel has never been more important, and we are expanding our base locations to meet more customers where they are,” said GrandView Aviation COO Jessica Naor.
She added, “With 10 Phenom 300 light jets in our fleet now, we are transitioning from a regional operator to a national provider of light jets for charter. With modern aircraft, pay-as-you-go pricing, free WiFi, and two hour dispatch times, we are bringing a level of quality to the industry that traditionally required owning your own aircraft.”
The nationwide initiative provides added locations for its GrandView’s Miles Program. Those enrolled in the program can earn miles on charter flights that can be redeemed for catering, flight credits, and other amenities. The program also offers utilization of GrandView’s flexible cancelation policy and empty leg specials. GrandView offers fixed rates as available based on total flight hours, including repositioning.
The company said it is in the early planning phases of developing a pay per seat subsidiary set to launch next year. The compilation of growth projects, new aircraft, and added departure points has also fueled GrandView’s increasing personnel base, which is expected to reach more than 80 employees by 2021.
