Aircraft management and charter provider Jet Edge International is predicting it will achieve a fourth-straight year of double-digit sales growth this year. The company recently increased its fleet to almost 50 aircraft, following the additions of a pair of GIV-SPs, three Falcon 2000LXs and a 900EX EASy II.
Over the past summer, Jet Edge moved its New York-area headquarters into the former Atlantic Aviation FBO at Teterboro Airport. Another two GIV-SPs are due to join the fleet by mid-January.
The company also has strengthened its management team with the appointment of former TWC Aviation CEO Edward Frank as its president. Other industry veterans joining Jet Edge include executive vice president aircraft sales Alex Joya, marketing director John Tucker and sales vice president Bradford Drew.
