Elevate Jet has expanded charter operations in South Korea with the introduction of a Bombardier Challenger 650 aircraft.
Elevate Jet, a division of Virginia, USA-based Elevate Aviation Group, has appointed PJS Korea as brand ambassador and in-market agent for the South Korea expansion. PJS Korea will serve individual and corporate clients seeking access to Elevate’s fleet across South Korea and the Asia-Pacific region.
The Challenger 650 introduction marks the beginning of a capital investment program in the Asia-Pacific region. “The introduction of the Challenger 650 is the first step in a large-scale capital investment program in APAC, a region we view as an important and growing market for Elevate Aviation Group,” said Randy McKinney, president and chief financial officer of Elevate Aviation Group. “We are committed to expanding our fleet and infrastructure here to meet rising demand for premium charter solutions.”
The Challenger 650 accommodates up to 12 passengers and features a transcontinental range exceeding 4,000 nautical miles (7,408km). The aircraft includes high-speed satellite Wi-Fi connectivity, dedicated galley and lavatory facilities.
Serapina Park, president of PJS Korea, said the partnership positions Elevate as a charter operator in the region. “We are proud to introduce the Challenger 650 to the South Korean market,” Park said. “This milestone reflects our deep commitment to serving clients in South Korea with the highest levels of service and safety, while positioning Elevate as a leader in premium charter travel across the region.”
According to Elevate Jet, the company has operated aircraft management and charter services for more than three decades alongside Private Jet Services. The South Korea operation strengthens global capabilities while expanding the company’s Asian market presence.
The expansion reflects growing demand for private charter solutions in Asia-Pacific markets. Elevate Aviation Group continues fleet expansion programs across international markets as regional business aviation demand increases.
