Dallas-based business aircraft sales, charter, and management firm Leviate Air Group recently acquired a majority interest in local competitor Chairman Aviation. The latter company will help Levitate expand those services while also adding aircraft maintenance capabilities.
Under the agreement, Chairman Aviation will continue to operate under its own air carrier certificate, working closely with Leviate. The integration will include the management of Chairman’s fleet alongside Leviate’s aircraft. As part of the deal, additional aircraft, including a Citation X, Citation X+, and Citation CJ3+, are joining the combined fleet.
Luis Barros, CEO of Leviate Air Group, emphasized the significance of the acquisition: “We are thrilled to welcome Chairman Aviation into the Leviate family. Their stellar reputation in private aviation aligns perfectly with our core values of excellence and integrity. The addition of these premium aircraft enhances our combined fleet and allows us to provide even more tailored solutions to our clients whether for business, leisure, or specialized travel needs.”
