Elevate Jet acquires VIP Boeing 757-200

Elevate Jet has acquired a VIP-configured Boeing 757-200.

The deal was “on behalf of a long-standing private client.”

The 757 is configured to VIP standards.

Capacity is 50 passengers.

Elevate Jet is currently conforming the Boeing 757 to be part of its managed fleet.

Key customer targets include professional sports teams, global touring productions, and large-scale executive travel.

Elevate Aviation Group CEO Greg Raiff says, “We were proud to be asked by our long-standing client to acquire this truly extraordinary VIP Boeing airliner, an aircraft we knew well with an impeccable pedigree.”

He continues, “Like many of our music touring, professional sports, and governmental clients that absolutely have to arrive at their destinations on time, this unnamed client was looking for a solution to safely and efficiently transport up to 50 passengers at a time in a truly VIP fashion, with high-speed satellite WiFi and a cabin conducive to productive business meetings.”

Raiff added, “Over my 35 years in aviation, I am still surprised by the lack of supply of these VIP airliners in the U.S. private aviation market.”

Elevate Jet is authorized under a special certification to manage and operate VIP airliner-class aircraft.

That includes Boeing Business Jets and Airbus Corporate Jets.

Its charter brokerage, Private Jet Services Group, specializes in supporting professional sports franchises, music tours, and government operations.

High-speed satellite WiFi will be installed later this year.

For now, the 757-200 VIP Boeing Airliner is not available for general charter.

Instead, it is reserved for the private client’s exclusive use, according to the company.
