After doubling its fleet over the past five years, Nicholas Air says it plans more measured expansion this year
Don’t look for Nicholas Air to make a billion-dollar order with deliveries stretching over six or seven years. The Oxford, Mississippi-based private jet operator and management company will follow up its addition of two new Phenom 300 light jets added directly from Embraer last year. However, it expects to buy for near term needs, head of marketing Peder Von Harten tells Private Jet Card Comparisons.
Nicholas Air’s Southern charm and fleet of modern private jets have helped the Mississippi-based fractional and charter operator expand nationwide
Jet card and fractional share options range from the Pilatus PC-12 and Phenom 100 to the CJ3, Phenom 300, Latitude and Challenger 300
In an industry that is often in turmoil or controversy, since founding the company in 1997, Nicholas Correnti remains the CEO nearly a quarter-century later.
While companies in the sector seem to come and go, executives and customers say continuity, a personal approach, and a state-of-the-art fleet have helped Nicholas Air thrive in a competitive market.

Founded in 1997 as an aviation company focusing on aircraft management and leasing, Nicholas Air soon expanded into fractional ownership, lease shares and jet card programs.
The company was started by aviation veteran Nicholas Correnti, and is based in Oxford, Mississippi.
In addition to pay-as-you-go, it offers deposit jet card based on either hours or dollars. The dollar-based Rise Card enables customers to upgrade or downgrade at published rates. The hours based Blue Card is aircraft specific and allows upgrades and downgrades at an interchange fee.
