Silver Air (United States of America) (SIS, Santa Barbara, CA) has acquired the management rights of a Bombardier Business Aircraft Global Express formerly managed by Jet Edge (EDG, Van Nuys), with ch-aviation research revealing that N228SS (msn 9124) went across to Silver Air in early May 2024. The aircraft's exit from VistaJet Group Holding-owned Jet Edge leaves it without a Global Express type in its fleet.
Federal Aviation Administration data indicates N228SS is owned by SWS Venture Capital Services LLC, a California-based boutique venture capital firm founded by American entrepreneur and Green Dot Corporation Founder/CEO Steve Streit.
Silver Air is an aircraft management company and direct charter operator. According to its website, it has a range of aircraft under management and at its disposal, ranging from turboprops to ultra long-range business jets. The aircraft include a PC-12, Hawker 400XP, Cessna Citation Ultra, and Citation CJ2, two Citation CJ3s, one Citation Mustang, Embraer Phenom 300, Hawker 800XP, Citation XL, and Hawker 4000, two Cessna 750s, two Challenger 350s, two Gulfstream G200s, one Gulfstream GV, one Bombardier Global 5000, two Global Express types, and three Gulfstream 550s.
