European-based aviation charter, management, and sales company Elit’Avia took a significant step toward increasing its presence in the North American market through the acquisition of Pioneer Business Services. Based in Newburgh, New York, Pioneer had been a subsidiary of Four Corners Aviation, providing a range of charter, management, and other services for aircraft owners and passengers.
With the acquisition, Elit’Avia is creating a distinct operating entity, Elit’Avia Americas, based in Newburgh, and has named Kevin Rodgers president, responsible for clients in North America and South America. Rodgers moves over from Elit’Avia’s sister company ZenithJet in Canada, where he has spent the past 14 years as executive v-p and has worked with clients at both operations. He also has held roles with Jet Aviation and Bombardier Skyjet and serves as vice chairman of the Georgia Business Aviation Association.
