Delta Private Jets Grows Luxury Fleet
Delta Private Jets, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL), has added five new aircraft to its fleet in
the light, midsize and super midsize jet categories as part of the company’s growing private jet travel and management
services.
“We’re committed to continuously updating our fleet to ensure our clients have luxurious, safe and convenient private jet travel
at their fingertips,” said David Sneed, Executive Vice President and COO. “Our exceptional fleet is available for our chartered jet
clients as well as our Jet Card program members.”
Light Jet
Delta Private Jets welcomes a brand new Citation CJ3+ straight from Cessna that is based in Las Vegas. This boldly painted jet offers a grey interior,
comfortable leather seating, advanced cockpit technology including an upgraded Intrinzic™ flight deck powered by Garmin® G3000™ and
the latest in onboard technical amenities with Wi-Fi, multiple power outlets, and Cessna Clarity™ cabin management system. Fully
onboarded and ready for travel, this aircraft provides efficient positioning for customers in the west.
Midsize Jets
To expand its lineup in the popular midsize jet category, Delta Private Jets has added a Cessna Citation XLS , which will serve in the company’s floating fleet. Building on
the success of the Cessna Citation Excel, the Citation XLS incorporates flight deck enhancements including a glass cockpit based on
the Honeywell Primus 1000 EFIS avionics suite and upgraded PW545B engines with improved performance. This aircraft comfortably
seats eight passengers and has Wi-Fi capabilities to satisfy travelers’ business or pleasure needs. The combination of standard
single seating and a bench for two allows for several options for comfortable conversation and work space.
Delta Private Jets also added a Citation Excel to its lineup of midsize jets. This aircraft is known for its reliability, performance and
spacious interior. In order to ensure customer flexibility of use, this aircraft will be a part of Delta Private Jets’ floating
fleet.
Also in the midsize jet category, a Bombardier Learjet 45XR, which will be based in Miami-Opa Locka, Fla., will be added to the fleet. Offering
spacious seating for eight with room to recline and swivel, the interior is designed for comfortable and luxurious travel. This
aircraft displays the classic design and speed customers have come to expect from Learjet.
Super Midsize Jet
To provide customers with additional options for longer-haul travel, Delta Private Jets will add a Citation Sovereign± to its super midsize fleet. With a class-leading short takeoff performance and enhanced
technology, including the Garmin G5000® avionics suite and the Cessna Clarity™ cabin management system, the Sovereign+ can take
passengers further distances than a Sovereign, enabling many nonstop cross-country city pairs. The jet can comfortably seat eight
passengers in a standard configuration and has full sleeping capacity for four. Wi-Fi, multiple video monitors, the airshow system,
a DVD player and microwave are all accessible for passengers to use on this aircraft.
Each new aircraft was onboarded through the Delta Private Jets Aircraft Management department, which focuses on assisting
aircraft owners with options matching their specific goals, including revenue-generating opportunities and comprehensive aircraft
management solutions. For further information, contact youraircraft@deltaprivatejets.com.
