Leviate Air Group has joined Volato Group’s Vaunt platform as an approved third-party operator, adding 13 aircraft to the network, including six HondaJets. The partnership expands Vaunt’s light jet offerings and reinforces the platform’s foundation, built on what was formerly the world’s largest HondaJet fleet, the company said.
Leviate’s integration brings additional geographic coverage to Vaunt’s network, which now comprises more than 100 aircraft. The HondaJets are particularly significant to the platform’s identity, having shaped early member loyalty through their design, quiet cabins, and four-passenger configuration.
“Leviate is proud to bring both depth and diversity to the Vaunt fleet,” said Logan Laporte, director of HondaJet fleet sales at Leviate Air Group. “We’ve long believed in the HondaJet as a premium experience for regional travel. As the platform evolves, we’re excited to help shape what future tiers—like large-cabin access—could look like for Vaunt members.”
The partnership introduces strategic expansion possibilities beyond light jets. Leviate operates a Bombardier Global 5000, marking the first large-cabin aircraft within the Vaunt partner network, though it currently remains unavailable on the platform. This aircraft could enable future product tiers to accommodate long-range and premium missions.
Vaunt has reported an 85% sequential increase in top-line sales while expanding through operator partnerships. The platform has also integrated hotel and airline booking capabilities.
