Founded in 1997, the NICHOLAS AIR is the largest independently owned and operated private air travel provider in the industry. Our goal has always been to be the best, not the biggest.
At NICHOLAS AIR, we believe that a “Good enough” mentality is not “Good enough”. Our Members select us because of our immeasurable attention to detail and pursuit of perfection on every flight.
NICHOLAS AIR is led by one of the most experienced executive leadership teams in the industry with a combined experience pool of well over 200 years in the aviation industry.
With nearly 30 years of steady growth and operational excellence, NICHOLAS AIR continues its proud heritage of setting the standard for excellence in private aviation, consistently proving why we remain the best in the industry.
Our Safety Management System (SMS) protocol requires our pilots to hold an FAA Airline Transport Pilot License (highest available) and to receive rigorous training that far exceeds the industry standard and regulatory requirement.
The highest compliment we receive is when our Members share their experiences with friends, family and business colleagues. We value our reputation and understand there are many options available for private air travel and appreciate the Members who have helped establish our elite club of clientele.

The Phenom 100 is an entry-level jet with next-generation technology that brings a whole new definition of style, comfort, and performance to the light jet industry.
The CJ3+’s ultra-quiet cabin is equipped with wireless high-speed internet, an enclosed lavatory, and six adjustable Captain’s chairs for enhanced comfort.
The Phenom 300E is the ultimate private jet with the ramp presence and cabin of a midsize jet.
The Citation Latitude offers ample galley space and a class-leading high-capacity baggage compartment ideal for larger groups and additional luggage.
The Challenger 350 is a true executive office for the skies, with its high levels of performance, large interior cabin, and extensive in-flight entertainment and Wi-Fi connectivity.
As one of the fastest business jets in the world, the G600 delivers you and your guests to your destination not only faster than most, but you do so in the very best the world has to offer in luxury, space, and comfort.
The Jet Lease Program is ideal for more frequent fliers who travel over 100 hours per year offering a monthly payment system without the upfront financial commitment of an asset.
Aircraft Management is right for those who want to enjoy all the benefits of whole aircraft ownership or private jet ownership without the hassles of complex flight operations and regulatory compliance.
At NICHOLAS AIR, we believe You’re a Name, Not a Number. We are committed to a culture of empowerment, collaboration, and long-term stability, which has allowed us to thrive regardless of economic conditions.
We don’t just hire pilots based on a resume. We hire to the NICHOLAS AIR Standard.
