Aero Ways Inc. becomes flyADVANCED / Aero Ways Inc.

flyADVANCED, the mid-Atlantic provider of executive and personal aircraft management, Fixed Base Operations (FBO), charter, rental and flight training services, announced the changeover of Wilmington, Delaware based Aero Ways Inc. to flyADVANCED.

"The Wilmington location (ILG) extends our geographic footprint and expands our capabilities, providing existing and prospective clients with a tremendous benefit," noted flyADVANCED owner Regis de Ramel. flyADVANCED manages and is the sole FBO at Wings Airfield (LOM) in Blue Bell, PA, a suburb of Philadelphia. The company also operates a maintenance facility at Lancaster Airport (LMS).

"Wilmington is ideally situated as a highly desirable alternative to the Philadelphia airport, both in terms of geography and the surrounding population of businesses. We are uniquely positioned to provide the infrastructure and focus needed to expand both our own business and that of the airport in general."

de Ramel has extensive experience in aeronautics and aircraft management and service. At age 40, de Ramel has himself been flying for over two decades. He founded, sold and later repurchased Air Newport, which currently operates as an independent airport and FBO. He also served as Regional Sales Manager for Cirrus Aircraft.

"There are several important markets in the industry. Executive and personal aircraft management for companies and individuals seeking more cost-effective management solutions; charter services for companies and individuals seeking time-saving and improved convenience alternatives to commercial flights; and flight training and rental aircraft for passionate individuals who embrace a lifestyle of freedom and flexibility." According to de Ramel, few companies provide services to address all of those markets. 

flyADVANCED continues to add charter aircraft to its fleet; it now offers a fleet of four jets, two turbo props and 4 props for charter, and nine Cirrus aircraft for rental. In addition, flyADVANCED is a Cirrus Platinum Partner in training and the largest Cirrus Service Center in the United States.

"We are pleased to have flyADVANCED at the New Castle Airport," noted Victor Ferzetti, CFO of the Delaware River and Bay Authority. "We expect that flyADVANCED will be a strong part of the region's success in air travel and management services going forward."
