Flight Options Recalls Pilots to Meet Growing Demand
CLEVELAND--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Flight Options, LLC, a pioneer in private jet travel, announced today that it was recalling eight furloughed pilots. The recall reflects growing demand for Flight Options’ private aviation services, which offer travelers affordable, convenient access to one of the largest and safest private jet fleets in the industry.
“Our recall of these experienced, highly trained pilots comes as we expand our fleet and increase capacity for our popular fractional ownership, membership and jet card programs.”
“We are extremely pleased to be able to announce the recall of eight veteran Flight Options pilots. Their return to our team reflects our confidence in the Company’s continued growth, as well as the strong partnership we have forged with our pilots,” said Michael J. Silvestro, Flight Options Chief Executive Officer. “Our recall of these experienced, highly trained pilots comes as we expand our fleet and increase capacity for our popular fractional ownership, membership and jet card programs.”
