Nicholas Air has taken delivery of five new business jets, adding three light Embraer Phenom 300Es and two midsize Cessna Citation Latitudes to its fleet as part of what the company described as a measured growth strategy.&nbsp;The Nashville-based private aviation provider said the additions were driven by mission profiles requested by its jet card members, particularly for short- and mid-range operations. The aircraft align with its approach of expanding capacity without accelerating growth beyond operational standards, the company said.
According to Nicholas Air, it continues to prioritize consistency and fleet suitability over scale. The company characterized the latest deliveries as supporting its goal of maintaining a young and versatile fleet tailored to member demand.
These aircraft also support pilot advancement opportunities within its Part 135 operation. According to the company, the fleet mix allows pilots to progress internally to larger and more complex airframes. “Providing our pilots with the opportunity to upgrade internally to larger, more complex airframes is a key part of our retention strategy,” said company founder and CEO Nicholas Correnti.
The company said the newly acquired airplanes complement its existing fleet, which ranges from light to ultra-long-range jets, and provide additional flexibility for jet card members whose travel needs fall between those categories.
