Aircraft management and charter provider STA Jets has acquired Denver-based International Jet boosting its presence in the U.S. market to the Rocky Mountain region. According to the Southern California-headquartered group, the integration of Colorado’s longest-established charter operator will add “scale, resources, and reach” to its network.
International Jet was founded in 1979. It currently operates 17 aircraft ranging from turboprops to large-cabin jets from its private terminal at Denver Centennial Airport (KAPA).
STA Jets founder Kurt Belcher said he is committed to preserving the 47-year-old company’s legacy, noting that its new subsidiary “has earned the trust of its clients through safety, service, and consistency.” Since becoming the first Learjet charter operator at Centennial Airport, International Jet has also flown more than 10,000 medical transports over a 25-year period.
With a main base at John Wayne Airport (KSNA), STA Jets also operates from Van Nuys, San Jose, New York, and Fort Lauderdale. Announcing the expansion, the company stated it is striving to build “one of the nation’s most comprehensive private aviation service networks in the market.”
