Longtail Aviation Acquired
/Longtail Aviation announced its acquisition by an investment team led by Fabian Bello, CEO of Journey Aviation in Boca Raton, Florida. The acquisition, with an infusion of capital to assist in growing the company, will allow Longtail to offer the world a viable, first world aircraft management solution with no passenger seat or maximum weight restrictions.
Longtail holds the world’s only Bermuda AOC, which means they are the only company with the direct authority to operate charter flights with Bermuda registered aircraft. Through the acquisition, Longtail is now positioned to accommodate any customer, anywhere in the world from their strategic Bermuda location, and establish first world operations in areas that have traditionally been underutilized. Longtail has operated aircraft ranging in size from turboprops and light jets to Boeing Business Jets, and was the first non-US carrier to achieve the ARG/US Platinum rating. Longtail is an ideal candidate worldwide for assisting with the registration of any newly acquired aircraft, and also has the benefit of Bermuda’s tax neutrality.
Fabian Bello will serve as Chairman of the Board of the entities that own Longtail Aviation, while longtime CEO and Accountable Manager Martin Amick will continue in those roles.
