SilverArrow Capital Group announced that it has acquired the majority share (51%) of PrivatAir, SA.

PrivatAir is an international premium airline and leading business aviation group with headquarter in Geneva, Switzerland and operating offices in Duesseldorf, Germany and Lisbon, Portugal. PrivatAir operates a wide-range of aircrafts ranging from Boeing B767, B757, BBJs to Airbus A319 and business jets for premium airlines like Lufthansa and SAS.

The company has been in operation for more than 40 years and currently employs over 400 people.
