Jackson Jet expands charter offerings with purchase of Swift Aircraft Management

Jackson Jet, a full service business aviation operation based in Boise, Idaho, has broadened its investment in the Phoenix, Arizona market and in its charter and management offerings with the purchase of Swift Aircraft Management.

With the purchase, Jackson Jet has expanded its charter fleet and management capabilities with the addition of an Embraer Legacy 600 and an Embraer Phenom 300 to its existing fleet of Citations and Pilatus PC12s. The Legacy 600, boasting a 13-passenger capacity and range of 3,250 nautical miles, will allow Jackson Jet to fly more passengers and to further destinations than ever before. In fact, as part of the Swift Aircraft Management acquisition, Jackson Jet also receives FAA authorisation for worldwide charter operations. This is a highly coveted authorisation in the charter industry, allowing Jackson Jet to charter flights to popular destinations, including Hawaii, Europe and South America in addition to the North American routes it has historically flown.

“The ability to fly larger and further than ever before is a game changer for us and our customers,” said Jackson Jet CEO, Jeff Jackson. “We’re thrilled we can now serve these customers with Jackson Jet’s top-shelf service rather than refer those requests on to industry partners.”

Earlier this year in January, Jackson Jet purchased Swift’s FBO facility, known as Swift Aviation and located at Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix. This latest acquisition of Swift Aircraft Management will broaden Jackson Jet’s charter and management services across all its locations, including an FBO and full charter, maintenance and parts operations in Boise, and an aircraft based in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.
