In the 30 years since its founding, PrivatAir (Booth No. 740) has fine-tuned its skills in operating airliners for executive use. While the Swiss company is involved in the FBO business–setting them up or acquiring some–and is active in executive jet management, charter and brokering, its core business is operating a fleet of large jets, including three Boeing Business Jets, one BBJ2, one Boeing 757 and four Airbus Corporate Jetliners. It recently took delivery of a Boeing 767 and has a Boeing 787 on order for delivery in 2012.

Through its Flight Services Group (FSG) division, acquired in 2000, PrivatAir has an extensive operation in the U.S., including a managed fleet of some 40 aircraft, ranging in size from a Hawker Beechcraft King Air 200 to a Bombardier Global 5000. PrivatAir’s U.S. arm operates two FBOs–at Norwich, New York, and Stratford, Connecticut–another facility in West Palm Beach, Florida, as well as 11 operating centers.
