Will Smith Aviation acquisition expands direct air charter services

| Jo-Lynn Brown

Will Smith Aviation, in Tampa, has acquired Charter Manager, a 135-licensed charter operator.

Charter Manager will operate synonymously with Will Smith Aviation, with an expanded portfolio that now includes services including on-demand charter, jet taxi and jet card services.

“This move allows us to expand our aircraft management and acquisitions company to a full 135 operator, allowing us to bring Tampa Direct to all that live and play in Tampa Bay, without the all-day commute that commercial air travel requires,” said Will Smith, chief executive officer of Will Smith Aviation.

Adding that the offering allows jet card members to enjoy private travel at an affordable price.
