Priester Aviation Unites Its Companies Under One Name and One Standard of Service

8.27.26

For 80 years, the company founded by George J. Priester has guided clients through every stage of private aviation, from a client’s first charter flight to whole aircraft management. George J. Priester Aviation, the original name from 1945, has served as the parent company behind that legacy. Priester Aviation, Mayo Aviation, Hill Private Aviation, and Omni Private Aviation have all been operating under its umbrella.

Today, that legacy enters a new chapter: the George J. Priester Aviation name is retiring, and its brands are uniting under one name and one standard of service across the company’s bases in Chicago, Denver, Atlanta, and Tulsa — Priester Aviation, the brand name that has been most widely recognized since its inception. Elite Jets and MaxAir, the newest additions to the Priester family, are maintaining their brand names while aligning by adding Priester as a co-brand.

“We’ve always been proud of what the Priester name means in aviation,” said Brent Moldowan, CEO & President, Priester Aviation. “As the Mayo, Hill, and Omni names transition, their owners will find in Priester what they have always had: a relationship built over decades, rooted in trust and built to grow with them, wherever their aviation journey takes them next.”

Mayo Aviation, Hill Private Aviation, and Omni Private Aviation will begin transitioning to the Priester Aviation name as part of a broader strategy to unify the family-led aviation providers Priester has connected.

For Elite Jets and MaxAir, that alignment takes its own track: Both will be co-branded as “a Priester Company,” strengthening the connection to the larger platform so clients and partners can access everything the family of companies offers, while continuing to operate under their own names. Together, their owned fleet of 12 Phenoms means more availability for Invision Jet Card holders and charter clients. Combined, Priester, MaxAir, and Elite Jets form a single organization capable of meeting a client at any point in their aviation journey.

That journey is the foundation of what Priester calls its Limitless Flight Path: a single, continuous relationship that carries clients from their first charter or jet card to whole-aircraft and fleet management, without ever having to start over with a new provider. Behind the scenes, Priester has spent recent years unifying its services, safety systems, team operations, and infrastructure into what the company calls One Priester: one set of standards, one scheduling and dispatch network, and one expanded charter capability that reaches internationally, all built to give pilots, crews, and clients a consistent experience no matter where they fly from.

“From the moment a client begins with us, they’ll experience One Priester: a single, strategic partner guiding their entire aviation journey,” said Moldowan, CEO & President, Priester Aviation. “Where others serve a single moment in a client’s flying life, Priester serves the entire flight plan. That’s one higher standard of service, one family of experts.”

Priester Aviation will complete the transition of brand names in the months ahead, giving clients the same elevated experience at every base, backed by a name they already know and trust — whether it stands alone or, at Elite Jets and MaxAir, sits alongside their own as a Priester Company.
