GrandView Aviation is extending its reach in the Atlanta area with a base opening this spring at DeKalb-Peachtree Airport (PDK). Plans call for the air charter operator to to base an Embraer Phenom 300 at PDK to provide services throughout the region.

"Atlanta puts our fleet in an ideal position to serve clients in the south," said GrandView Aviation COO Jessica Naor. "With our bases across the Central and Eastern U.S., we have a much larger service area and ability to bring new clients an exceptional light jet cabin experience."

The Phenom 300 has a 1,500-nm range and is equipped with Wi-Fi. GrandView's Phenom fleet is configured to hold up to nine passengers for charter use, as well as for organ transplant missions.

Headquartered in Maryland, with bases in Texas, Illinois, and Georgia, the Part 135 operator also has a Sikorsky S-76D in its fleet.
