==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]].<ref name = "donnis">{{Cite news| last = Donnis| first = Ian| title = New candidates on the block: Dems de Ramel and Mollis emerge as the early candidates to succeed Matt Brown as Secretary of State| work = The Providence Phoenix : Features| accessdate = 2014-04-08| date = 2005-10-07| url = http://www.providencephoenix.com/features/top/multi/documents/05019530.asp| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140409094924/http://www.providencephoenix.com/features/top/multi/documents/05019530.asp| archive-date = 2014-04-09| url-status = dead}}</ref>

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.<ref>{{Cite news| last = Harrington| first = Jennifer| title = The Little Airplane That Can| work = Business Jet Traveler| accessdate = 2015-04-10| date = June 2008| url = http://bjtonline.com/business-jet-news/little-airplane-can/.}}</ref>

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.<ref>{{Cite news| last = Powell| first = David| title = Under New Management, Wings Field Is Changing Course| work = Patch| accessdate = 2014-04-08| date = 2014-03-07| url = http://www.patch.com/Pennsylvania/ambler/under-new-management-wings-field-is-changing-course}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news| last = Riley| first = Emily| title = Advanced Aircraft Services offers Main Liners a Quicker Route to the Shore| work = Main Line Today| accessdate = 2015-04-10| date = July 2012| url = http://www.mainlinetoday.com/Main-Line-Today/July-2012/Advanced-Aircraft-Services-Offers-Main-Liners-a-Quicker-Route-to-the-Shore/}}</ref>

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.
