H ISTORY COM M I TTE D E XC E L L E N C E SI N C E 1 9 4 5 Priester Aviation was founded by George Priester in 1945 as a flight training school that eventually evolved into the private aviation services company 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 travelers with premium private aviation services individually tailored to fit their needs.

12

Today, Priester Aviation is one of the leading private aviation companies that continues to invest in the future to elevate an already special client experience.
