Talon Air Grows With Pilot Additions, Several New Managed
Aircraft, New Hangar And Office Complex
Private jet operator Talon Air says it is continuing its
expansion following the two strongest quarters in the
company’s 10 year history. The company credits its success to
fundamental changes in the industry including the most recent
increase in charter activity. Talon has literally doubled in size
with its brand new hangar and office complex which will be fully
operational by June 1st. The completion of Talon Air's second
hangar located at Republic Airport in Farmingdale New York will
provide 100,000 sq ft of first class hangar and office space. As a
result of this substantial growth, the company has increased its
pilot roster by more than 20 percent since the end of last
year.
“By expanding our pilot group, we are creating new jobs in
all departments,” said Jason Sanders, Senior Vice President.
“Talon Air is an exciting place to work and we are attracting
some of the best talent in the industry.”
In order to meet their growing charter demand Talon, anticipates
the addition of several large cabin aircraft in the fourth quarter
of 2011. The fleet shall continue to grow strategically through
aircraft management. The managed aircraft supplement the core fleet
and provide high-quality jets for its broad base of jet charter
customers. Aircraft management is an attractive option for
corporations and aircraft owners who want to generate revenue when
the aircraft is not being used by them in order to reduce the
overall cost of aircraft ownership.
