NICHOLAS AIR announces Gulfstream G600 fleet addition and the STEEL JET Membership Program

NICHOLAS AIR, one of the nation's largest private aviation programs, has announced the addition of the Gulfstream G600 to its growing fleet of Owned and Operated private aircraft. The Gulfstream G600, widely known as the ultimate in private jet luxury, marks NICHOLAS AIR's entry in the ultra-long-range market and worldwide dispatch and operational capabilities. The aircraft, wholly owned by the company, has seating for up to 13 passengers aboard the state-of-the-art platform. The cabin of the G600 features whisper-quiet technology, a lower cabin altitude, and the largest windows in its class, allowing for an unmatched luxury experience that leaves the passenger with a smoother flight and a more relaxing, restful, restorative journey. With the addition of the G600 to the fleet, NICHOLAS AIR Founder and CEO, NJ Correnti, reaffirms to his Membership base, the company's commitment to keep growing responsibly, but ambitiously. Says Correnti, "Over the years, we've been incredibly analytical when it comes to fleet growth, so the expansion into the Gulfstream platform is one that took deep thought and analysis. To welcome an aircraft of this caliber to our program is a testament to our responsible growth, our corporate stability, and due to our corporate structure, our ability to stay nimble and opportunistic in the market." Seeing a defined place within the market, Correnti notes the interest the airplane has received to date as well, stating, "An aircraft like this is simply not available in the market. You may find the older Gulfstream series aircraft available for charter or in a brokered jet card, however not the new G600 series which is in a league of its own. Being the only company in the nation offering the new series Gulfstreams in a jet card format now gives options to consumers that do not want to spend $6+ million for a fractional share to gain access. This new program is also great for those tired of whole aircraft ownership, or that simply need access to large cabin options for certain trips. The new program is something we are very excited about as we hear from our Members their desires to utilize NICHOLAS AIR over their current large cabin providers." To access the G600, NICHOLAS AIR offers its new STEEL JET program, the combination of its already renowned flight program and the new NICHOLAS LIFESTYLE portfolio, giving its Members access to a wide range of custom homes, experiences, and amenities that are complimentary within the new STEEL JET program. Correnti notes, "Being able to add additional benefits to our already popular flight program and now add access to properties owned and operated by the NICHOLAS Team makes our brand experience even more unique. For our Members, they get the comfort of knowing that what they love about their NICHOLAS AIR program can now extend to their time on the ground in one of our properties as well." The aircraft, already previewed with the NICHOLAS AIR Membership base, will be readily available to Members mid-January in time for President's Day weekend, ski trips, and leading into Spring Break. NICHOLAS AIR, headquartered in Oxford, Miss., owns and operates one of the largest fleets of Phenom 100, CJ3+, Phenom 300E, Citation Latitude, Challenger 350, and now Gulfstream G600 aircraft, making them available anywhere in North America with as little as 24 hours' notice. The aircraft, which have an average age of under five years, are backed by a renowned reputation for world-class customer service standards that extends from the Members Services staff and out to the flight line. For over 26 years, NICHOLAS AIR has been the home of the Most Refined Set of Private Flyers, as well as holding official partnerships with trusted organizations such as Safari Club International, the South Carolina Gamecocks, the Ole Miss Rebels, and the Clemson Tigers.
