Elite Air (United States of America) (ELZ, St. Petersburg/Clearwater) has expanded its Part 135-certified fleet with the addition of its first Hawker 900XP, based in Florida.
N813BR (msn HA-0168) accommodates up to eight passengers and has recently been operating out of Tampa International, as shown by ADS-B data. Announced in early September and officially listed under the FAA's Part 135 in October, this addition marks the fifth Hawker Beechcraft in Elite Air’s fleet, which also includes one Hawker 400XP, two Hawker 800XPi jets, and one Hawker 850XP. At 14.6 years old, the aircraft was previously operated privately in the US, where it has been registered throughout its operational life.
Beyond its Hawker Beechcraft fleet, Elite Air’s certificate encompasses a diverse selection of aircraft, including two Challenger 300s, one Challenger 350, one Challenger 3500, one Citation XLS, two G200s, one G450, one G650ER, one Global 5500, two Global Express jets, one Learjet 31A, one Learjet 40XR, two Legacy 600s, and one Legacy 650.
Elite Air specialises in private jet charters, aircraft management, and aircraft acquisitions and sales. Last year, it broke ground on a new private terminal and hangar infrastructure at St. Petersburg/Clearwater, with plans to introduce its first fixed-base operations in 2025.
