GrandView Aviation has taken delivery of three new Embraer Phenom 300s and plans to open two new bases within a matter of weeks, the Maryland-based charter operator announced today. The new Phenoms bring its fleet of the type to 17.
In addition, GrandView plans to open bases in Teterboro, New Jersey, on July 15 and Reno, Nevada, on July 18, which will bring the number of bases the company operates to 10. GrandView already has bases in Baltimore/Washington, D.C.; Atlanta; Austin, Texas; Boston; Chicago; Denver; Los Angeles; and Phoenix.
“I’m thrilled to celebrate the further expansion of our fleet with this latest delivery as we progress toward our goal of 20-plus aircraft by year-end,” said GrandView president Jessie Naor. Additionally, She noted the company plans to open three additional bases before year-end.
The expansion comes about three months after GrandView’s assets were acquired by Global Medical Response, the parent company of AirMed International. “The impact of these new aircraft and bases are far-reaching,” said AirMed president Denise Treadwell. “Through the addition of each new aircraft and operation, GrandView increases access to life-saving organ transplants for patients around the nation and to safe and reliable charter services for our VIP clientele.”
