OJets, a new integrated provider of
comprehensive business aviation services, has announced the acquisition of
Elit’Avia, a business aircraft management, charter and services company
based in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
Headquartered in Singapore, OJets’
world-class team is guided by a commitment to delivering industry-defining
service - tailored to the most discerning Asian and international business
travelers. OJets makes trans-Pacific and transcontinental air travel
luxurious and convenient.
Last week, OJets announced the purchase of
two aircraft (a Bombardier Global 6000 and a Bombardier Challenger 650) from
Minsheng Financial Leasing Co., Ltd. The company also pledged to quadruple
this figure within the next 90 days. OJets’ acquisition of Elit’Avia expands
the company’s total number of owned/managed aircraft from two to a fleet of
23.

The Elit’Avia acquisition is a strategic
move that allows OJets to leverage a decade-long wealth of operational
experience and an unmatched reputation for professionalism. Thanks to it,
OJets’ operations are managed under the Maltese AOC that Elit’Avia has held
for years, which permits global access - including flights to the USA.
Furthermore, the acquisition enriches OJets’ total service offering by
integrating aircraft management and charter with private fleet operations.
The new company is led by business
aviation veteran Nicholas Houseman.
As CEO, Mr. Houseman brings 20 years of industry experience to his new role.
Nick has co-owned Elit’Avia since 2011 and founded Zenith Jet in 2008.
Previously, he held several senior management roles at Bombardier Aerospace,
including: Director, Global XRS/5000 Green Program and New Product
Development; Director, Sales Strategy and Support; Director, Flight
Operations; and General Manager, Skyjet.

“OJets represents the optimization of
luxury business aviation services,” says Nick Houseman. “With our private
fleet, we are offering services that respond to current market conditions by
minimizing capital commitment and eliminating asset risk.”
“Under Michel and Puja’s expert management
and steady guidance, Elit’Avia will continue to serve existing and
prospective clients with industry-leading aircraft management, charter and
VIP travel services. Collectively, our clients will benefit from access to
more aircraft and more pilots, and an extended global reach with fixed
operations and offices in Asia, Europe and North America. Our vision is to
draw from our numerous strengths to offer an unprecedented level of service
to discerning clients worldwide,” he concludes.
