US private aviation provider Leviate Air Group has closed its majority position in Texan business jet operator Chairman Aviation. Under the new branding, 'Chairman powered by Leviate', the strategic move strengthens Leviate's position in the private aviation industry, enhancing services for current and future clients while honouring Chairman Aviation's legacy and continuing its operational record.

With Leviate's leadership and expertise, Chairman clients will continue to enjoy premium service while gaining access to enhanced resources and expanded opportunities. Chairman's fleet, including the Citation X+, Citation X and CJ3+, remains available to meet the highest standards. These new aircraft offerings will also complement Leviate's newly operational HondaJet fleet operating nationwide.

“We are excited to welcome Chairman Aviation into the Leviate family,” says Luis Barros, CEO of Leviate Air Group. “Chairman Aviation has set the bar for exceptional service, and we are honoured to build on that reputation by bringing our operational strength, resources and unwavering commitment to client satisfaction.
