This Boeing Business Jet touching down at Henderson Executive Airport to join the NBAA-BACE static display is one of two that Jet Edge (SD110) is adding to its management fleet by year-end. They will join six new Gulfstream aircraft also added to the California-based company’s AOC. The BBJs are part of Jet Edge’s floating charter fleet and are being offered for charter at rates of around $14,000 per hour, which chief revenue and marketing officer Jonah Adler said is very competitive with rates for other large-cabin business jets. Earlier this year, Jet Edge was boosted by a $60 million private equity investment and this has fuelled significant growth. The company has formed a new whole aircraft sales division called Jet Edge Partners.
