Commenting on the expansion, Mark Briffa, CEO of Air Partner, said: “The US has long been an important market for Air Partner, and one which continues to be an area of strategic focus. We have been an established business there for 19 years now, but there are still opportunities that we can capitalise on.

"North America is the biggest private jet market in the world and we are committed to taking more of this share. For the third consecutive year, independent aviation consultant Conklin & de Decker's found that our JetCard continues to surpass all our major US competitors in terms of both cost and flexibility, so we have a solid foundation on which to grow our customer base. The expansion of our New York office is a really exciting development for us, and I can’t wait to see how our American journey progresses.”
 
Air Partner operates a full 24-hour flight operations centre and has a team of 260 aviation professionals based in 20 locations around the world.
