Acquisition Doubles Fleet Size, Improves Customer Service.
Delta AirElite, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Delta Air Lines (DAL), has acquired Kinston, NC-based
Segrave Aviation. The all-cash transaction will increase the size
of the Delta AirElite fleet to 46 aircraft as well as adding
improvements to the online booking and the travel experience for
customers.
"This is an excellent opportunity to couple Delta AirElite's
award-winning product and scheduling flexibility with Segrave's
leadership in online flight management and operations control,"
said Wayne Aaron, Delta's vice president - Corporate Strategy and
Business Development. "The Segrave acquisition supports Delta's
strategy to offer differentiated products and services to our high
value customers."
Delta is the only US-based carrier with commercial and private
jet service, allowing customers to earn frequent-flyer miles on
either service. Delta AirElite's fleet includes Bombardier, Cessna,
Dassault, Gulfstream, Beechcraft, and Hawker aircraft.

"Coupling Delta's world-renowned brand and reputation for
service with Segrave's history as an innovator in private jet
operations is a natural fit for the customers who have long counted
on Segrave and Delta AirElite," said Jim Segrave of Segrave
Aviation. "All of us at Segrave look forward to our new partnership
with Delta and the opportunity to grow this exciting segment of
Delta's business."
Segrave Aviation began operations in 1994 from Kinston, NC.
Today, it directs a fleet of managed aircraft specializing in
wholesale charter aviation services, private aircraft management,
aircraft maintenance and fixed base operations.
