Silver Air (United States of America) (SIS, Santa Barbara, CA) expanded its Part 135-certified fleet in October with the addition of its first Citation Latitude, N532JM (msn 680A-0370), ch-aviation research shows.
Capable of accommodating up to eight passengers, the one-year-old jet was previously operated privately in the United States and was not listed as a certified aircraft under the FAA's Part 135 regulations before joining Silver Air's fleet.
With this latest addition, Silver Air now operates a fleet of 23 aircraft under its certificate, including two Challenger 350s, one Citation Excel, one Citation Jet 2, one Citation Jet 3, the newly added Citation Latitude, one Citation Mustang, one Citation Ultra, three Citation X, one G200, three G550s, one GV, two Global 5000s, two Global Express, one Hawker 400XP, one Hawker 800XPi, and one Embraer Executive Jets Phenom 300. The company also operates a Boeing Business Jet B737-700(BBJ) under a Part 91 management certificate.
In an exclusive interview with ch-aviation recently, Silver Air expressed its intention to grow its fleet while maintaining its business model of managing aircraft with a focus on heavy charter availability.
