Airstream Jets acquires Silesia Air

Robert Kallista, owner of Czech Citation and King Air operator Airstream Jets, has taken ownership of fellow Czech operator Silesia Air. This acquisition not only solidifies his presence in the aviation industry but also sets the stage for a dynamic collaboration between the two ambitious teams to achieve new goals. This transition promises positive changes and enhanced services for both companies. In summary, the acquisition of Silesia Air signals a promising era for both companies and the aviation industry as a whole.

Silesia Air, with is fleet of Citation XLS and Ciation Excel jets, has earned a stellar reputation for its commitment to safety and reliability. One of the most exciting aspects of this acquisition is the prospect of synergy between the sales teams of Airstream Jets and Silesia Air, both comprised of enthusiastic and talented professionals. By working together, these teams can leverage their expertise and networks to explore new horizons and expand their client base.

Robert Vaclena, director of sales and ground operations at Airstream, comments "One of the main goals of the merger is to become a stable and large operator in the European market. I perceive Silesia Air as a large provider in the world of business aviation, which has been operating in this market for 21 years. I also see Airstream Jets, which has been on the market under new ownership since 2019, as a progressive company that has found its place even in its relatively short time in the industry.

"With the merger of these two companies, we have tried to optimise all processes to take our services not only a notch higher. This is a big and demanding challenge for both companies, but the merger is already bearing fruit. For example, the merger of the ops department, which was one of the first obvious changes, shows us that from both an economic and operational point of view it all makes perfect sense. Both teams have been able to exchange experiences and re-align processes so that safety, efficiency and speed in dealing with standard and non-standard requests are at the highest level. One of the visions is that in the future Silesia Air will operate jets and Airstream will be the turboprop operator.''

Passengers and clients of Airstream Jets and Silesia Air can look forward to enhanced services. In addition, it's worth noting that the two companies have been connected for the past six months, which means they have already had time to lay the foundation for their collaboration. This six-month period of association has allowed them to align their strategies and plans for the future. In conclusion, the acquisition of Silesia Air and the collaborative efforts of the vibrant teams from both companies herald a promising chapter in the aviation industry.
