Fly Advanced (stylized flyADVANCED) is an aircraft maintenance, management, charter flight and flight training company operating three mid-Atlantic United States locations: Wilmington, Delaware (ILG), Blue Bell, Pennsylvania (LOM), Lancaster, Pennsylvania (LNS), and Winchester, Virginia (OKV).
History
Investor, pilot, and philanthropist Regis de Ramel, along with his twin brother Guillaume, formed Air Newport, an air-taxi service, in Newport, Rhode Island.[1]
In 2003, he sold Air Newport and, in 2007, formed the partnership Stratus Alliance, an air charter operation for Cirrus aircraft owners focused on business travelers.[2]
In 2009, Regis de Ramel purchased the assets of Advanced Aircraft at the Lancaster Airport in Lititz, Pennsylvania, and formed Advanced Lancaster LLP, which became the core of Fly Advanced. The facility operates as a maintenance facility for prop aircraft, including Cirrus, Cessna, Diamond, Beechcraft, Piper, and others.
In 2011, de Ramel won the contract to manage all operations of Wings Field in Blue Bell, PA. Wings Field provides flight lessons, aircraft rental, charter flights, hangar space, and aircraft maintenance and management for light jets and prop aircraft.[3][4]
Air Newport, an air taxi service in Newport, Rhode Island, returned to Fly Advanced ownership in 2013.
In April 2014, de Ramel bought Aero Ways Inc. in Wilmington, Delaware (ILG). Aero Ways, founded in 2001, grew from a one-plane management company into a full-service aircraft management and worldwide charter provider. It remains the only CAA-certified FBO on the airfield and provides services for aircraft ranging from heavy jets to props.
In 2015, all locations began the process of merging under the unified Fly Advanced brand.
