Elevate Jet (LVT, Bedford, MA) has expanded its Part 135-certified fleet in November 2024 with the addition of a first Global 7500, as revealed by ch-aviation research.
N1711M (msn 70024) was listed as a Part 135-certified aircraft in the fleet of Clay Lacy Aviation until April, when it was registered as N7584G. At that time, it was the last Global 7500 in the operator's fleet, although it has since reintroduced the type.
Originally delivered to VistaJet (Malta), the 5.7-year-old ultra-long-range jet then moved to the United States, operating under XOJET Aviation, trading as Vista America. Now available for charter with Elevate Jet, the aircraft is capable of seating up to 19 passengers. According to the company, the jet is based at Salt Lake City, although it has recently been flying primarily out of Sydney Kingsford Smith.
This Global 7500 joins another Bombardier Business Aircraft under Elevate Jet's Part 135 certificate - a Global Express. Additionally, the operator offers a Dassault Aviation Falcon 7X, a G200, a G650ER, and an Embraer Executive Jets Phenom 100 for private jet charter services.
Elevate Jet privately operates other aircraft, recently planning the addition of an Airbus Corporate Jets to its managed fleet. The company is a subsidiary of Elevate Aviation Group, which recently detailed its Part 135 growth ambitions, including through acquisitions, in an exclusive interview with ch-aviation.
