NASHVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — NICHOLAS AIR, the largest independently owned and operated private aviation provider, continues its strategy of measured and steady growth with the announcement of five new aircraft deliveries: three Embraer Phenom 300E light jets and two Cessna Citation Latitude mid-size jets. This expansion reinforces the company’s commitment to maintaining a young, versatile fleet tailored specifically to the evolving needs of its Jet Card Members.
Meeting Member Demand Through Strategic Growth
The new addition of these aircraft is a direct response to the mission profiles that its Jet Card Members are requesting. As the private aviation landscape shifts, NICHOLAS AIR remains dedicated to providing the specific airframes that its Members require for both short- and mid-range efficiency as well as safety and comfort.

This methodical growth ensures that every new tail added to its fleet maintains the elite standards of quality, service and safety that NICHOLAS AIR Jet Card Members have come to expect.
A Focus on Internal Excellence
Beyond providing the needs of its Jet Card Members, these deliveries also play a critical role in the company’s “pilot first” culture. By diversifying and growing its fleet, NICHOLAS AIR continues to create clear pathways for its Home-Based Part 135 professional advancement.
“Adding these Phenom 300E and Citation Latitude aircraft allows us to continue our tradition of promoting from within,” says Nicholas Correnti, Founder and CEO of NICHOLAS AIR. “Providing our pilots with the opportunity to upgrade internally to larger, more complex airframes is a key part of our retention strategy and ensures our flight crews are the most experienced in the industry”.
The Gold Standard for Jet Card Membership
