About Elevate Aviation Group-

Elevate Aviation Group is a privately held aviation organization established in 1995, comprising Private Jet Services (PJS), Elevate Jet, and Elevate MRO. Together, these divisions serve every stage of private aviation, from first inquiry and flight planning to aircraft acquisition, management, and maintenance.

We occupy a rare position in private aviation, combining the scale and resources of a national organization with the agility and discretion of a boutique firm. Operating at the standard of aviation excellence means holding our people to that same standard. Our teams anticipate needs, take ownership, and approach every mission with care, precision, and pride. In this world, the greatest cost is not the flight itself but the cost of not arriving when it matters most.

As we enter our fourth decade, we are revolutionizing how we approach the spanet, building a technology-enabled system that empowers our people to focus on what they do best: anticipating problems before they occur so they never reach our clients, and providing a frictionless, calm experience from departure to destination. For nearly thirty years, we have supported some of the most defining moments in modern history—from presidential campaigns and global sporting events to world tours and humanitarian missions—all with an unwavering commitment to flawless execution.
