Jet OUT soars into South Florida with new base at Fort Lauderdale Airport

Jet OUT announced the opening of its newest base at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. This expansion marks the company's first move outside the Midwest, bringing its innovative local-national fleet model to the vibrant South Florida market. The Fort Lauderdale-based fleet serves customers in South Florida with zero repositioning costs. 

Jet OUT started operations in Fort Lauderdale in September when the company took delivery of two factory-new Citation CJ4 Gen2 aircraft, solidifying Jet OUT's position as having the newest and largest fleet of Citation CJ4 Gen2 aircraft in the United States. The company is pleased to announce that its Fort Lauderdale facility is fully operational. Located within the Sheltair FBO, in addition to the aircraft, the company has invested in a customer lounge, sales office, and line maintenance base, all now open, ensuring a complete and seamless experience for Jet OUT's South Florida clients.

Joseph Crivello, Chief Executive Officer of Jet OUT commented: "South Florida is a key part of Jet OUT's growth strategy. Our local-national model ensures our Co-Owners and clients in the region have access to unparalleled service, performance, and value."

Demonstrating its commitment to South Florida, Jet OUT has built a dedicated local team of aviation experts, including pilots, mechanics, and aircraft detailers. Currently, the Jet OUT base employs over 10 local employees, and the company plans to expand its presence by adding additional team members over the next year, with an expected local staff of 20.

Jet OUT will host a grand opening event at its new FLL base. The celebration will feature a ribbon-cutting ceremony, refreshments, a vintage ice cream truck, and special limited-time Co-Ownership and Co-Lease incentives. The event will also include aircraft and facility tours and remarks from the executive leadership team.

This celebration highlights Jet OUT's emergence as the fastest-growing of the top 25 light jet fleet operators in 2024, according to data provided by WingX. This impressive growth is driven by the differentiated value proposition which is enabled by Jet OUT’s unique operational model. The company's innovative empty-leg programs have been instrumental in this success, significantly increasing flight hours while delivering substantial cost savings to its Co-Owners and Co-Lessees.
