Charter & Fractional
TAG Aviation Still an Aircraft Services Force
Despite TAG Aviation Holding's piecemeal sell off several years ago, TAG Aviation maintains a large aircraft charter managment fleet in Asia and Europe.

When TAG Aviation Holding sold off its assets in 2019 and 2020 and divested from the aviation industry, some may have thought that would be the end of the legacy brand. But its core aircraft and charter management businesses—which were sold entirely to its Asian joint-venture partner Young Brothers Aviation and another private investor—have continued the TAG Aviation name.

“It’s the same TAG logo, the same heritage, the same legacy,” said Steven Young, CEO of TAG Aviation and president of the company’s Asia division. As one of the founding shareholders of TAG Asia, he has had a stake in the company for the past 16 years. “There was no shareholder exchange, there was a shareholder adjustment. In other words, I continued with my shareholding, I just increased it.”
