Private Jet Company Volato Expands and Evolves Offering with Gulfstream G280 Fleet Agreement

Volato, private jet company, has announced a new relationship with Gulfstream and a fleet order of Gulfstream G280 aircraft. With four on order, the aircraft will add significant capability to Volato’s existing fleet of HondaJet Elites. This expansion evolves Volato’s business model as they look to service a greater share of the private aviation market. Volato will be the first company to fractionalize the Gulfstream G280, preselling fractions in multiples of eighths, and will take delivery of its first G280 aircraft in early 2024.

The ten-seat configured Gulfstream G280 brings the unique benefits of Volato’s program to the super-mid cabin fractional customer: fly as little or as much as you like, plus, earn revenue every time your aircraft flies a live mission.

The Gulfstream G280 features the largest in-cabin experience and greatest efficiency in its class. The Gulfstream G280’s revolutionary wing design and engine technology result in prime fuel-efficiency, reducing operational costs and supporting environmental sustainability. Volato will offset the CO2 in every gallon of fuel through its program with 4AIR, continuing its commitment to minimize its environmental footprint. 

The Gulfstream G280 will service Volato’s existing owner’s private aviation needs through direct fractional ownership or access to the aircraft through their HondaJet fractional ownership. As owners can fly as little or as much as they like, while earning a revenue share whenever their aircraft flies a live leg, there is no downside to having ownership in both programs, owners simply choose the most efficient aircraft for their mission. Volato’s Gulfstream G280 fleet will service the United States and nearby countries.

Volato operates one of the largest and most modern fleets of HondaJets in the world with 11 aircraft and 18 on order, and now offers fractional shares in four Gulfstream G280’s, the Stretch Jet Card: the only in-fleet jet card that rewards flexibility, and Volato Aircraft Management Services with a focus on HondaJets and large cabin aircraft. With IS-BAO Stage 2 and ARGUS Platinum safety ratings, and an accident-free history, Volato operates with the highest safety standards of any HondaJet operator. In addition, Volato offsets the CO2 on every gallon of fuel used by its fleet through its program with 4AIR, and provides pilots with robust training and a balanced lifestyle. Volato is positioned to be an industry leader as it continues to develop the most innovative solutions in private aviation.
