STA Jets Expands Its Private Aviation Network with Acquisition of International Jet

STA Jets, a prominent player in the private aviation industry, has confirmed its intent to acquire International Jet, a well-established aviation service provider based in Centennial, Colorado. This acquisition not only marks a significant milestone for STA Jets but also bolsters its position in the competitive landscape of private aviation.

Founded in 1979, International Jet has made a remarkable impact in the aviation market. Initially starting its operations in Long Beach, California, the company moved its base to Denver shortly after its inception. Over the years, it has developed a solid reputation as the first charter Learjet operator at Centennial Airport, where it has maintained a continuous presence. The company's footprint has expanded significantly from its early days focused on cargo and specialty flying to becoming a full-service passenger charter operator.

In its multifaceted operations, International Jet has logged over 10,000 medical transport flights, securing its commitment to safety and service. The company boasts a versatile fleet that includes turboprops, light jets, super-midsize jets, and larger cabin aircraft. Additionally, with a private passenger terminal at Centennial Airport and a dedicated team of flight coordinators available around the clock, International Jet has ensured convenience and efficiency for its clients. The operation's adherence to FAA Part 135 standards coupled with its Diamond Award of Excellence for maintenance further reinforces its credibility.

Kurt Belcher, the founder of STA Jets, emphasizes the strategic nature of this acquisition: "STA is growing with purpose and momentum. Each addition makes the STA network broader, our capabilities stronger, and our service better for the clients who rely on us." This reflects the company’s aim not just to expand geographically but also to enhance the services available to its customers.

The acquisition of International Jet will significantly increase STA Jets' geographical reach, expanding its service offerings and fleet capabilities. By integrating International Jet's charter, aircraft management, and sales services, STA Jets will be able to offer clients a more comprehensive aviation solution under one network. Belcher affirms, "For 47 years, International Jet has earned the trust of its clients through safety, service, and consistency. That legacy makes this partnership compelling. We're committed to preserving what makes International Jet exceptional while adding the scale, resources, and reach of the STA network."
