STAjets, Elite Aviation Form Joint Venture

California-based aircraft charter providers STAjets and Elite Aviation formed a joint venture yesterday. Under the agreement, Santa Ana-based STAjets will have access to Van Nuys-based Elite Aviation’s fleet of long-range jets, while Elite will have access to the STAjets fleet of light to midsize jets and turboprops. “The agreement is seen as a first step to establish a long-term relationship between the two firms and the joint venture provides substantial benefits for both companies,” the companies said.
