MILWAUKEE, WI (October 25, 2007) – Sterling Aviation, a leading business aircraft management and charter company headquartered at Milwaukee’s Mitchell International Airport with a second full-service base under development in Naples, Florida, has added a mid-cabin Cessna Citation VII jet to its expanding air charter fleet. Sterling Aviation’s Citation VII features a luxurious, leather-upholstered cabin and wide array of amenities.

The eight-passenger Citation VII features a spacious cabin and generous luggage capacity, making it perfect for a wide variety of business and pleasure travel. The aircraft offers non-stop range from its Milwaukee base to most destinations in North America and the Caribbean.

“With the addition of the Citation VII, companies can match,” said Rob Gort, resident and chief operating officer. “We offer a total of eight mid-cabin options – including Hawker, Citation and Lear jets – all of which combine superb value, luxury and excellent non-stop range.”

Sterling’s fleet also includes large-cabin, wide-body jets with international capabilities, as well as small-cabin jets and turboprops. “The growing scope of our fleet continues to give Sterling an edge in the ability to address our clients’ needs with mission-appropriate aircraft,” said Roger Banaszak, Sterling’s vice president of marketing and sales.

Plus, with the planned late-2008 opening of a full-service operation in Naples, Sterling will be positioned to offer easy access to aircraft management, air charter and FAA certified Part 145 repair services to clients in Florida. “We’re bringing all the elements of The Sterling Experience that our Midwest clients have always enjoyed and duplicating them in Naples,” Banaszak said.

“Over the past three years, Sterling has more than doubled its revenue, fleet and charter hours flown,” Gort said. “Our ongoing fleet expansion and our new Naples base will help sustain this growth pace and to serve our clients better.”
