FirstFlight Adds Gulfstream GIV in Florida
FirstFlight, Inc. (OTC BB: FFLT) a charter management and aviation services company, is pleased to announce a Gulfstream GIV has joined its fleet of managed aircraft.
This aircraft, based in Ocala, follows the recent announcement of a G550 in West Palm Beach, both of which complement our already existing fleet in Florida that include a G500 in the Miami area. This ongoing concentration of aircraft is consistent with FirstFlight\'s stated goal of further penetrating the strategic market that Florida and the Southeast United States represents.
The newly added GIV is configured for 14 passengers. The aircraft performs well on both intercontinental and cross-country trips with a range exceeding 4,800 miles at speeds up to 575 mph. Recently refurbished, this aircraft has an exceptional array of passenger amenities that make it very attractive for charter. Selected features include an extended credenza, full forward refreshment center, a comprehensive entertainment center with dual Rockwell Collins DVD, ten stack changer, Airshow and number of custom design features (including additional a \"super- soundproofing\" kit) to maximize passenger comfort, and a full, custom-designed aft lavatory.
\"We welcome this exceptionally well-appointed GIV to our fleet,\" stated John Dow, FirstFlight\'s president and CEO. \"Great attention to detail went into the selection of the interior features to make it a highly desirable charter aircraft. We are pleased with the new additions to our fleet this year and have an excellent balance between our large- and mid-sized jet equipment.\"
FirstFlight is one of the leading Gulfstream operators in the Northeast and has a growing presence in the Southeast. In addition to the Gulfstreams, the Company provides charter and management services for Challenger, Falcon, Hawker, Lear and other executive jet aircraft.
