As unclear as Flight Options’ future is, the situation at Flexjet is even less defined at this time. According to industry sources, a “significant” deal is pending that would involve the assets of Flexjet and charter operator Delta AirElite Business Jets. An announcement could come as early as this month.

Delta AirElite, headquartered at Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport, traces its roots to 1984 when regional airline Comair purchased a single Learjet 25D to support the travel needs of Comair executives. In January 2000, a year after Comair’s acquisition by Delta Air Lines, the name was changed to Delta AirElite Business Jets. Its current fleet of some 25 owned and managed airplanes includes Learjets, Challengers, Gulfstream IV-SPs and a Citation II. The company also claims “charter availability” on more than 275 business jets throughout the U.S.
