Pentastar Aviation (Pontiac Oakland County International) retired the sole GVII-G500 from its Part 135-certified fleet in November 2024, as reported by ch-aviation research.

Following the retirement of the GVII-G500 type, Pentastar Aviation continues to operate a sister-type G550 under its Part 135 certificate, alongside a Challenger 300, a Citation Excel, a Citation Jet 3, three G280s, a GIV, and a GIV-SP. The company also retired its only Learjet 45XR earlier this year.
