History

When Every Flight Was a Mission

Priester Aviation was founded by George Priester in 1945 as a flight training school that eventually evolved into the multi-disciplinary aviation service that it is today. It was a simple proposition at first, to provide a platform to educate and demonstrate the practices of a progressing industry that would eventually integrate itself into the lives of on-the-go business and leisure travelers alike.

As the aviation community developed and businesses began to expand globally, the need for point-to-point travel became a necessity and alternatives to commercial airline service were imperative. Priester’s goal was to provide executives and other discerning business travelers with premium charter services and trips individually tailored to fit the needs of every customer. Priester now offers premium services with a fleet of world-class aircraft to over 6,000 regional airports across the country — three times the number of airports served by commercial airlines. Whether you’re seeking regional, cross-country, international or even short island hop travel, Priester gets you there on time, in comfort and most importantly, in control.
