FirstFlight, Inc. (OTCBB: FFLT) announced that they have added a Gulfstream GIV to their fleet of managed aircraft. FirstFlight, working through their subsidiaries, engages in aircraft charter management, fixed base operations (FBO), and aircraft maintenance operations throughout the United States.
The Gulfstream GIV is stationed in Ocala, Florida, and prior to today’s announcement the company added a G550 in West Palm Beach, both of which fit nicely into their already existing fleet in Florida. The two recent additions are a tribute to FirstFlight’s company goal that is to further penetrate the strategic market that Florida and the Southeast United States represents.
The aforementioned GIV is an aircraft that can perform exceptionally on both intercontinental and cross-country trips with a range exceeding 4,800 miles and speeds of up to 575 mph. The newly refurbished aircraft is configured to hold 14 passengers, and hosts an array of passenger amenities that make it a comfortable and attractive charter. Some of the features are; an extended credenza, full forward refreshment center, a comprehensive entertainment center with Rockwell Collins DVD, ten-stack changer, and numerous custom design features to fit the passenger’s needs.
“We welcome this exceptionally well-appointed GIV to our fleet,” said John Dow, president and CEO of FirstFlight. “Great attention to detail went into the selection of the interior features to make it a highly desirable charter aircraft. We are pleased with the new additions to our fleet this year and have an excellent balance between our large- and mid-sized jet equipment.”
