Executive Jet Management, a NetJets company (part of Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway empire), celebrated another milestone at NBAA 2002 by announcing the addition of the 100th aircraft, a Gulfstream IV-SP owned by Charles Cohen of Design Professionals. EJM president and CEO Albert Pod emphasized, however, that this isn’t the end of its charter fleet expansion–by a long shot. Since January, EJM has added 20 aircraft to its ranks and expects to add 25 more before year-end. A prime goal for 2003, Pod noted, is to add fleet locations to new sites around the U.S. to provide more aircraft options to its customers.
Cohen’s Gulfstream is being refitted at Gulfstream Aerospace’s Appleton, Wis. facility, and its engines will undergo a routine midlife inspection. It will be based in the New York metropolitan area and will be available for charter use from EJM this fall. Nerve center for EJM’s operations–turnkey aircraft management, charter aircraft management, on-demand charter and corporate shuttles, and aviation consulting services ranging from maintenance and flight operations to training–remains at Cincinnati’s Lunken Airport where it began occupying new facilities a year ago. The center’s hangar space is large enough to house 20 aircraft and all sizes of business aircraft through the Gulfstream V.
