Solairus has added nearly 50 aircraft to managed fleet

November 3, 2025

Aircraft management specialist Solairus experienced nationwide growth throughout 2025 as owners and flight departments entrusted nearly 50 new aircraft to its expanding managed fleet.

The company’s latest additions include a Gulfstream G800, a Global 7500 and multiple G700 and G650ER models.

Solairus has added almost 50 aircraft to its managed fleet so far in 2025, reflecting ongoing confidence from aircraft owners and flight departments in its management model and personalised approach to service.

Since January, the company has expanded across multiple categories and operating bases nationwide, adding 28 large and ultra long-range jets, eight large long-range jets, five super mid-size jets, three light jets and several helicopters and turboprops.

Among the new arrivals are a Gulfstream G800, soon to be available for charter from Stewart International Airport in New York, a Global 7500 based at San Jose Mineta International Airport in California and several Gulfstream G700 and G650ER aircraft operating from Boston, the San Francisco Bay Area and Palm Beach.

“The foundation of our growth has always been quality, not quantity,” says Solairus founder and CEO Dan Drohan. “Each new aircraft represents the confidence our clients place in the Solairus team. The trust we’ve earned from aircraft owners, their families and their flight departments allows us to grow responsibly and sustainably. Ultimately, our success is defined not by how many aircraft we manage, but by how well we serve each one.”

Solairus’ continued growth demonstrates the rising demand for premium, high-touch aircraft management services that combine operational excellence with individualised client support.
