Executive AirShare Acquires Fort Worth-Based Flight Services Company

KANSAS CITY, Mo. and ORLANDO, Fla., October 7, 2008 --- Robert D. Taylor, chairman and chief executive officer, Executive AirShare Corporation, today announced that the Kansas City, Mo.-based fractional aircraft company has acquired Flight Services Company, an aircraft management company based at Fort Worth Meacham International Airport (FTW), which will be renamed Executive Flight Services, Incorporated.

 

Executive Flight Services manages eight jet and turboprop aircraft and maintains office, hangar and maintenance facilities, as well as a full-time staff of pilots, at Meacham Airport. The company was founded in 1992, and has operations at Meacham Airport in Ft. Worth and at Dallas' Love Field (DAL).  In December 2007, Flight Services was awarded the National Business Aviation Association's (NBAA) Corporate Business Flying Safety Award for the sixteenth consecutive year.

"Our owners will benefit from the experience and knowledge of the Flight Services management team," said Taylor. "This acquisition allows us to expand our capabilities by offering a wide range of services with the whole aircraft management business and by gaining access to maintenance support and hangars facilities as we continue our rapid growth in Texas."

Executive AirShare holds firm orders for 28 Embraer Phenom 100 aircraft, with deliveries scheduled to begin in Summer 2009, with options on 12 additional Phenom 100 aircraft. The company also holds six firm orders and four options for Phenom 300 light jet aircraft, making Executive AirShare the only established fractional aircraft ownership company to offer Phenom 100 and Phenom 300 aircraft.

Founded in 2001, Executive AirShare operates a fleet of late-model jet and turboprop aircraft serving owners throughout the Central United States. As one of the nation's largest regional fractional aircraft ownership companies, Executive AirShare offers businesses and individuals the benefits of corporate aircraft without the expense and hassle of managing their own flight operations. Executive AirShare is based in Kansas City, Mo., and also operates out of Wichita, Kan., Tulsa, Okla., Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas. The company currently operates a fleet of 15 aircraft-five Beechjet 400As, five King Air 350s and five King Air C90Bs.  For more information about Executive AirShare and its services, please visit: http://www.execairshare.com/.  For more information about Executive Flight Services, please contact Troy Welch at 817.233.2397 or visit: www.execflightservices.net.
