Charter operator Jet Edge International has raised an additional $75 million of funding from credit funds and accounts managed by KKR. The new funding expands KKR’s total credit and equity investments to $265 million over the past year. Last June, the private equity firm provided an initial $150 million credit facility.
Jet Edge is making a big move into building its direct-to-consumer business. It has launched a multi-million dollar ad campaign throughout the fourth quarter.
After providing $150 million in credit financing in June KKR has agreed to invest $40 million in preferred equity in Jet Edge International.
Charter operator Jet Edge International has used its $150 million war chest from KKR to quietly snap up 11 Bombardier Challenger 300 and 350 super-midsize jets, five Challenger 650s, and 11 large-cabin Gulfstream G450s. It is also finalizing an order for 15 to 20 new super-midsize and large jets. Deliveries will start at the end of next year.
