Elite Jets has begun a repainting project on its fleet of five Embraer twinjets, the Naples, Florida-based Part 135 operator announced last week. The new livery will mirror the company’s existing color palette and style, with the primary color of silver and black and yellow striping stretching from the aircraft belly to just below the windows.

 


In all, five aircraft will receive the new livery, with each of the airplanes—four Phenom 300s and one Legacy 500—taking about a month to complete. Constant Aviation in Sanford, Florida, is doing the painting. Elite Jets noted that it received all five aircraft fresh from the factory when it launched service in 2016.

 


“Many aircraft owners paint their jets every 10 to 15 years, but we didn’t want to wait that long,” said Elite Jets senior v-p Stephen Myers. “The Elite Jets brand is known for its attention to detail and refined excellence, and that includes the exterior of our jets. The outside matters as much as the inside.”

 


In addition to its Embraer fleet, Elite Jets manages a Gulfstream G550&nbsp;and owns a Bell 407 helicopter, neither of which are included in the repainting project.
