About
AT ELITE AIRCRAFT SERVICES WE HAVE MANY ROLES, BUT ONLY ONE MISSION—TO EXCEED CLIENT EXPECTATIONS IN ALL THAT WE DO. Our philosophy is that no two missions, and no two clients, are ever the same. That requires us to bring a high level of focus and intentional concentration to everything we do. We are 100% responsive, able to pivot when you need us to. But, safety and reliability are always at the forefront of our mind. You trust us with the lives of your family, friends and colleagues. We don’t take that lightly. We offer turn-key solutions for any aviation need. We’ll pick up a package and deliver it to your plane. We’ll “exercise” your plane when you don’t have the time. We’ll fit in flight instruction around your scheduling needs. In short, we’ll do our job so you can do yours. “No” is not part of our DNA and nothing is off-limits. Here’s a small sample of what we do: * Consultation for New or Used Aircraft Acquisition * Scenario-based Pilot Training * Customized Pilot Services * Aircraft Management & Maintenance
