Overview.
Pinnacle Aviation is a private jet charter broker based in Scottsdale, AZ. As a broker, Pinnacle Aviation arranges flights on FAA Part 135 certificated aircraft operated by third-party charter operators, sourcing the right aircraft and negotiating terms on the client's behalf.
In their words
Pinnacle Aviation was started as an aircraft sales and acquisitions company in 1988 by Curt Pavlicek, a corporate pilot with a passion for aviation. As his experience, skill and knowledge expanded, so did his interest in mastering every aspect of aircraft operations, creating the foundation of Pinnacle Aviation.
A growing list of clients began turning to Pinnacle Aviation for its expertise in managing ALL aspects of their aircraft. These services expanded over the next ten years and evolved into the four companies that operate under the Pinnacle Aviation umbrella today: Aircraft Sales and Acquisitions, Aircraft Management, Aircraft Charter and Aircraft Maintenance.
Pinnacle Aviation is based in Scottsdale, Arizona, and also has operations in Hawaii and California.
