Aitheras Aviation Group expanded its Part 135-certified fleet in November with the addition of a first Citation Encore, ch-aviation research reveals.
N103BZ (msn 560-0617) was first active under the operator's 'PXG' code on November 27, flying between Cleveland Burke Lakefront and Tampa International.
The 22.4-year-old jet was originally delivered to NetJets Aviation, where it operated for 15 years before transitioning to STAjets. It left the fleet of STAjets in late 2023, and was subsequently not operated on a Part 135 charter certificate.
This first Citation Encore joins a single Citation Encore+ in Aitheras Aviation Group's certified fleet. The operator's fleet exclusively consists of Citation jets and also includes two Citation IIs, a Citation Sovereign, and four Citation Ultras.
