The beginning of Arik Kislin‘s aviation career was an equity investment in a small full service charter management company. From this humble beginning the business blossomed into a full fledged aviation enterprise incorporating a fleet of private jets with their own maintenance, fueling and hangar facilities. This also serves as a Fixed Base Operation facility, which serves private aviation customers and is expanding in the areas of South Florida and New York.
