Presidential serves south Florida with well-appointed G200
Demand for executive aviation is strong in south Florida, and Presidential Aviation believes that it has found an ideal solution with a smart G200. It sleeps four and passengers can keep themselves entertained with Airshow.
The G200 will be based at Opa Locka.

Fort Lauderdale-based Presidential Aviation has added a Gulfstream G200 to its managed fleet. Its arrival marks the fourth new fleet addition over the last 12 months. Presidential will be offering the wi-fi-equipped aircraft, which has a range of 3,602 miles and can achieve speeds of up to 528 miles per hour, for charter flights. It will be based at Miami Opa Locka Executive airport in order to cater to the south Florida market.

Painted in Matterhorn white with grey and maroon stripes, the jet can accommodate up to nine passengers. Its interior was newly refurbished in 2019 and sleeps four, featuring double-club seats and executive dining tables for four forward passengers and a two-person club seating configuration aft. Aft is a three-person, berthable divan. For entertainment, the aircraft features complimentary domestic wi-fi, Airshow, individual viewing monitors and an aft bulkhead LCD screen. The aircraft houses a forward refreshment centre with multiple storage compartments, and an enclosed aft lavatory with hanging storage.

Presidential Aviation offers pilot and flight crew training (at authorised partner locations), crew management and scheduling, aircraft maintenance and record-keeping. The company employs factory-trained maintenance technicians and holds a 14 CFR Part 145 certified repair station certificate (9PVR416M), with an airframe rating on Gulfstream IV, Dassault Falcon 50, Dassault Falcon 50EX and Dassault Falcon 2000 aircraft. The operator is ARG/US Gold rated, a Wyvern Wingman Operator and a Stage 1 IS-BAO registered company.
