Fractional jet provider Flexjet is launching a private helicopter division that will integrate Sikorsky S-76 operator Associated Aircraft Group (AAG), which was acquired last year by Flexjet parent Directional Aviation unit OneSky Flight. Service will begin with 12 helicopters finished in the Flexjet livery and interior and “scale up from there as necessary,” according to the company.

AAG was founded in 1989, purchased by Sikorsky in 1999, and used to launch the OEM’s fractional shares program. It operated primarily in the New York City area.
