Vernon Aviation announces private aircraft charter services out of Scottsdale airport

Vernon Aviation has formally announced the opening of its newest base of operations at Scottsdale airport. This new location is the second base for Vernon Aviation, with its first being located in Farmington, New Mexico.

Equipped with eight passenger Pilatus PC-12 turboprop aircraft, Vernon Aviation offers an extremely cost-effective transportation solution to the Scottsdale market. “We are extremely excited to expand our business and have a new home in Scottsdale,” said Vernon Aviation business manager James Pera. “Scottsdale is a true destination and plays host to some of the largest and most prestigious events in the country. The demand is high for both business and leisure travellers that are seeking privacy, convenience and a schedule that they control. The airplanes that we operate are luxurious, comfortable, and most important, cost effective. We fill a niche for flights that are typically one to three hours of flight time in the immediate surrounding western states.

“When people think about private aircraft charters, the first vision that typically comes to mind is the large business jet. They immediately assume that they can't afford it. Once educated, our clients are pleasantly surprised to find out that there are various price points, aircraft and options for all budgets. The business owners really grin when they find out it's a tax write off,” said Pera.

For travel needs where the PC-12 isn't the best option due to passenger and range requirements, Vernon Aviation also offers brokerage solutions thorough its world wide network of qualified aircraft operators. “We're a one stop shop for all things pertaining to private aircraft charters, including hotel, transportation and concierge solutions” said Pera.

Vernon Aviation's aircraft are being operated out of Ross Aviation, a premier FBO at Scottsdale. “Ross truly sets the stage for our clients,” said Pera. “It has top-notch staff that really go out of their way to ensure that our clients have a great experience. Ross eliminates the potential for long lines and allows our clients to arrive in as little as 20 minutes before departure.”
