Elit'Avia is celebrating its tenth anniversary. Headquartered in Ljubljana with AOCs in Slovenia and Malta and a US office in Atlanta, the company achieved Stage 3 IS-BAO accreditation in December 2013. Its VIP travel services support visas, ground transportation, hotel reservations and other concierge services. A fleet of 21 aircraft includes Gulfstream 450, 550 and 650s, Global 6000 and XRS, Falcon 7X, 2000S and 50EX and a Hawker 800.

“Being based in Slovenia is very advantageous because most costs are considerably lower than in other EU countries,” comments CEO Puja Mahajan. “Added to this, Ljubljana is home to an exceptionally well-educated, talented and multilingual workforce. Since we are able to employ more people and offer a higher ratio of staff to aircraft, we can deliver better service than our competitors.

“Our Maltese AOC is beneficial because the government there is very pro-aviation. EU financial insti-tutions and regulatory agencies, such as the UK's CAA, look very favourably upon aircraft registered in Malta which is advantageous if a client wishes to sell an aircraft. With our commitment to delivering the highest levels of client service, 10 years of industry expertise and more than 35,000 hours of flight time, we thank our clients for their confidence and look forward to pursuing new opportunities together.”
