Mira Vista Aviation is an Argus Platinum Rated aircraft company. Argus is one of the top third parties used in the aviation community's various practices. Argus knows the ins and outs of the business, so when it released the news in early June that private aviation was on the rebound, we at Mira Vista not only believed the story we had the receipts to back up the data.
According to Argus, as reported in Forbes, private aviation is making a comeback in North America. In the first seven days of June, Argus tracked that Part 135 flights were nearing 68% of 2019 levels after plunging to as much as 20%. According to TSA data, part 135 data is drastically different from the 15% of passengers for airlines compared to last year's totals. The recorded 15% sadly marks an upswing for airlines.
It's true; we've been flying more these days. Europe has officially opened its doors with implemented quarantine guidelines. Even the states in the U.S. employing stricter guidelines again have kept travel options open to Americans. None the less, it's time to get back to work and to start learning the new normal.
However, with airlines reduced flight schedules, Mira Vista knows many people will rely on the private sector to not only transport them but keep them safe. No exact number has been proposed, but it's easy to understand that a current segment of business done by private charters is done by passengers wanting reduced exposure to COVID-19. The caution comes understandably, with airlines arguing social distancing provides no safety benefit.
Mira Vista Aviation has expanded and diversified its fleet portfolio to act as a preferred option for passengers. Mira Vista Aviation was built on large-cabin aircraft poised for the jet setter. In 2020, Mira Vista has added jets in the likes of a Citation CJ4 and Citation X for the constant traveler complemented by our existing ultra-long-range fleet. With a fleet made up of reliable brands, Gulfstream and Cessna, Mira Vista Aviation is a safe choice in air.
The Citation CJ4 is a light jet with a range of 2,165 NM and a max cruise speed of 451 KTS. The versatile aircraft can carry up to 9 passengers. Abundant storage accompanies the trackable seats, individual climate control, and high-definition entertainment provided for a comfortable flight. Its sister aircraft, the Citation X, boasts a range of 3,460 NM and a max cruise speed of 536 KTS. The super mid-size jet is a leader in speed, power, and value in its class. It accommodates 8 passengers in its cabin, which is delightfully arranged for both business and pleasure.
As Mira Vista Aviation continues to grow, it continues to advance what it offers to passengers. We promise to grow and change with the times while keeping the elegance of days long gone. Our changes include upgrading our hygiene practices, safety standards, and fleet options. To arrange your next flight, contact our sales team directly by email or phone.
