New Pacific Airlines (7H, Anchorage Ted Stevens) and Elevate Aviation Group, through Private Jet Services, have retrofitted three B757-200s with an all-business class cabin featuring 78 seats, high-speed satellite Wi-Fi, and in-seat power, as both companies continue to strengthen their partnership in the VIP charter segment.
“We are thrilled to have the VIP configuration of the Boeing 757 ready for take-off,” said Greg Raiff, CEO of Elevate Aviation Group, owner of Keystone Aviation, LLC, trading as Elevate Jet and Private Jet Services, adding that the deployment of these VIP cabins strengthens its ability to provide tailored service to the unique needs of its clientele.
Elevate Aviation Group and New Pacific Airlines partnered the Anchorage-based former scheduled carrier in March 2024 providing widebody capacity for large group charter operations.
During this period, Private Jet Services says it saw "unprecedented demand for aircraft capable of large group charter for professional and collegiate sports teams, live entertainment touring professionals, corporate shuttle programs, and incentive travel to remote luxury resorts.”
New Pacific Airlines’ B757-200s formerly had a capacity for 181 passengers in a three-class configuration with 16 first class seats, 36 premium economy seats, and 129 standard seats. The company, and its subsidiaries Ravn Alaska and Executive Express Aviation, are currently in a transitional phase and restructuring, according to an exclusive interview with ch-aviation earlier this year.
