Elevate Jet announced:

Elevate Jet proudly announces the successful acquisition of one of the few VIP Boeing 757-200 airliners in the world on behalf of a long-standing private client. The specially configured aircraft represents a rarified category within U.S. private aviation: a true airliner-class platform configured to VIP standards, capable of transporting up to 50 passengers in complete comfort across long distances and supporting complex, multi-city itineraries. By comparison, the largest executive jets from manufacturers like Bombardier, Gulfstream, and Dassault Aviation typically accommodate just 12 to 14 passengers, putting the VIP Boeing 757 in a different class of scale. Having closed on the purchase, Elevate is currently conforming the Boeing 757 as part of Elevate’s managed fleet.

Designed to meet a vast array of diverse, mission-critical demands from professional sports teams playing across the country, global touring productions, and large-scale executive travel for the world’s largest corporations, the new aircraft addresses a longstanding gap in the domestic market for high-capacity, ultra-premium group transport. This capability is held by only a handful of FAA and DOT approved management companies in the United States.

Elevate Jet is one of a select number of U.S. FAA Part 135 operators authorized to manage and operate VIP airliner-class aircraft, including Boeing Business Jets and Airbus Corporate Jets. This special certification, combined with decades of experience through its Private Jet Services (PJS) division supporting Fortune 500 companies, professional sports franchises, music tours, and government operations, made Elevate Jet the natural partner for this exclusive acquisition.

The aircraft is slated to receive high-speed satellite wifi later this year, making the airliner among the most capable large-group, long-haul private transport solutions in the country. The 757-200 VIP Boeing Airliner is not available for general charter and reserved exclusively for use by Elevate Jet’s client.

While aircraft like the VIP Boeing 757-200 remain reserved for large format, high-capacity charter solutions arranged directly through the PJS division, Elevate Jet continues to innovate in the private aviation industry through its newlylaunched booking app, designed to simplify and modernize the charter experience. The app features an AI-powered pricing and booking assistant named Ruby. Rooted in Elevate Jet’s customer-obsessed ethos, the app is designed to pair technology with the samehigh-touch service the company is known for.
