Company Formed By Merger Of JFI Jets And ACP Jets
A new brand of private jet charter and management, “Alerion Aviation,” was launched Wednesday. The company will offer aircraft charter, management and worldwide aviation consulting. The new brand was introduced at the NBAA Schedulers & Dispatchers Conference in the Tampa Convention Center in Tampa, FL.

"Alerion Aviation combines the finest aspects of JFI Jets and ACP Jets, two firms that already had an extraordinary growth trajectory, unparalleled customer service and the highest safety ratings in the industry," says Bob Seidel, chief executive officer of Alerion Aviation. “Indeed, the sum of the best practices at both companies is now greater than the individual parts."
The company’s management team is comprised of some of the industry’s most respected and experienced leaders who are entrusted with the private aviation needs of the world’s most discerning customers who require the utmost service and privacy. Alerion carries the highest safety ratings of ARGUS and Wyvern as well as IS-BAO Stage 2 certification.
An "alerion" is a rare and mythological soaring bird, known as the Lord of the Sky that reaches new heights.
“Our new logo reflects the soaring alerion mythological imagery with a modernistic sensibility, while incorporating elements of JFI and ACP Jets’ identity,” Seidel explains. “ It connotes a balance of modernity, luxury, and efficiency. We’re pleased that our employees helped by suggesting nearly 100 names. Not only did we receive a number of great ideas, the naming was also a great team-building exercise to merge our corporate cultures.”
Alerion offers aircraft management, private jet charter, hangar facilities, and maintenance services in all three of the U.S.'s busiest private jet demand markets: the New York metropolitan area, Southern California and South Florida. The combined companies will operate and manage 17 midsize, super-mid and heavy jets, all available for charter.
"We believe in offering world class, comprehensive aircraft management for aircraft owners, and industry-leading worldwide charter services for those who demand the highest degree of safety, service and professionalism," says Seidel. "With unremitting attention to detail, and the industry’s most extreme commitment to quality service, Alerion is a clear leader among private aviation companies."
