Silverhawk Aviation

Silverhawk Aviation is a private aviation company in Lincoln, Nebraska. It offers private jet charter, a jet card, fractional ownership and aircraft management. The company has served customers since 1991. The site says it serves Midwest customers from its home base in Lincoln. Its home office is at 1150 North 83rd Street in Lincoln.

The company calls itself the largest light jet charter operator in the Midwest. It flies from locations across the Midwest, including Lincoln, Omaha, Kansas City, Des Moines and Wichita. The site says it also serves smaller communities in between. It says it connects Midwest travelers with destinations across North America, Central America and the Caribbean.

The fleet includes a full line of Cessna Citation jets and King Air turboprops. The site says this gives the company flexibility to match the right airplane to each trip. The Silverhawk Jet Card gives access to the fleet based in the Midwest.

The Jet Card focuses on Midwest customers. The site says this reduces repositioning flights, so repositioning from Lincoln can cost less depending on the trip. The site says the company works to match each charter to the card holder's needs.

Silverhawk Shares is the fractional ownership program. Owners buy a portion of an airplane and pay a monthly management fee. In return they get a number of flight hours at base hourly rates. The site says this can lead to savings for frequent travelers compared with traditional charter.

The aircraft management program takes the stress and expense of day to day operations away from owners. The site says it includes a revenue program. The site says Mike Gerdes started at the front desk in 2004 and became chief pilot in 2010. He became president and co-owner in 2015 and now serves as chairman.
