Silver Air Expands Fleet with Challenger 850 and GIV-SP
Silver Air, based in Santa Barbara, CA, has significantly enhanced its Part 135-certified charter fleet by adding its first Challenger 850 and resuming operations with the GIV-SP type after a two-year hiatus. This strategic expansion underscores Silver Air’s commitment to providing a highly diversified and reliable charter service to its clientele.
The newly acquired Challenger 850 marks a notable addition to Silver Air’s fleet, bringing advanced performance and enhanced passenger comfort to its offerings. This aircraft is poised to cater to a broader range of charter needs, from business travel to luxury private flights, further solidifying Silver Air’s position in the competitive charter aviation market.
In addition to the Challenger 850, Silver Air has revived its operations with the GIV-SP, a move that reintroduces a sophisticated Gulfstream Aerospace jet to its fleet. The GIV-SP, registered as N442WW (msn 1442), is a 23-year-old aircraft that was previously operated privately in the United States under the registration N106TD. Silver Air first activated this jet under the ‘SIS’ code on November 22, initiating flights between Scottsdale and San Diego McClellan Palomar. This aircraft had been part of Silver Air’s fleet since 2015, with the most recent unit retired in 2022. The return of the GIV-SP highlights Silver Air’s dedication to maintaining a versatile and robust fleet capable of meeting diverse passenger demands.
Another significant addition to the fleet is the Bombardier Business Aircraft, N530JW (msn 8109). This 11-year-old jet, configured to accommodate up to 15 passengers, was first activated under the ‘SIS’ code on November 1. It completed a series of flights between Camarillo, Santa Barbara, CA, and Van Nuys. Previously, this aircraft was managed under the Part 135 certificate of Cirrus Aviation Services until June of this year, which continues to operate three other units of the type for charter services. The integration of N530JW into Silver Air’s fleet enhances the company’s capacity to handle more passengers and expand its service routes efficiently.
Silver Air’s fleet now boasts a highly diversified lineup, including two Challenger 350s, a Citation Excel, a Citation Jet 2, a Citation Jet 3, a recently inducted Citation Latitude, a Citation Mustang, a Citation Ultra, three Citation X, a G200, three G550s, a GV, two Global 5000s, two Global Express, a Hawker 400XP, a Hawker 800XPi, and a Phenom 300. This extensive range of aircraft allows Silver Air to offer tailored charter solutions, whether for short regional trips or long-haul international flights, ensuring flexibility and reliability for all clients.
The decision to expand the fleet with new and previously retired aircraft types reflects Silver Air’s strategic focus on meeting the growing demand for private charter services. By leveraging the capabilities of both the Challenger 850 and the GIV-SP, Silver Air can provide enhanced operational efficiency and superior passenger experiences. These additions not only increase the company’s operational capacity but also diversify its service offerings, allowing for greater adaptability in a dynamic market.
Silver Air’s expansion is part of a broader strategy to enhance charter availability and maintain a competitive edge in the private aviation sector. The introduction of advanced aircraft like the Challenger 850 and the reactivation of the GIV-SP demonstrate Silver Air’s commitment to investing in high-quality, state-of-the-art aircraft that meet the evolving needs of its clientele. As the company continues to grow, these strategic fleet additions will play a crucial role in supporting Silver Air’s mission to deliver exceptional charter services with unmatched reliability and comfort.
