The Texas-based aircraft operator, broker, and manager is adding two Challenger 300s to its fleet and expanding into Part 125 operations.
Leviate Air Group, a Dallas-based charter operator, broker, and aircraft management firm, is expanding its fleet and business.
It added two Challenger 300 aircraft to its managed fleet and announced plans to start Part 125 airliner operations.
“The expansion of our aviation ecosystem into Advisory services,” said Luis Barros, Leviate CEO, in a press release, “Part 125 operations, and a rapidly growing nationwide charter fleet, is a testament to the dedication of our team members and integrated corporate approach.”
Barros continued:
‘We’re building capability and flexibility for clients while staying focused on safe, well-structured operations and long-term value.’
One of Leviate’s new Challenger 300s is based at John Wayne Airport, in Santa Ana, California. The other is at Dallas Love Field, Texas.
It also launched an advisory group led by Eric DuFay, now its Head of Advisory.
According to DuFay’s LinkedIn, he has 18 years of experience in private aircraft sales and management.
He previously served as VP of Fleet Sales at Leviate from 2020 to 2021. Most recently, he served as Global Charter Manager at Netflix for more than 5 years.
The group aims to guide executive teams and flight departments as they evaluate operational needs, business objectives, and travel requirements.
Leviate also plans to launch Part 125 airliner operations, using the initial Boeing 767 it has under contract with Leviate.
It’ll manage and operate the 767 under a Part 125 structure for the aircraft owner.
The operator also said it may explore Part 121 operations if, according to the press release, “timing and opportunity align.”
