Our company continues to lead the industry by adhering to the philosophy it was founded on, safety, service, and a commitment to excellence.

Priester Aviation is headquartered at Palwaukee airport, the most convenient and most accessible corporate airport to Chicago. Just minutes from either downtown or the North Shore, Palwaukee provides a convenient gateway to the rest of the world. Of course if another airport is more convenient, we are more than happy to begin your trip elsewhere.

Even though our headquarters is in Chicagoland, Priester Aviation offers our complete range of services through satellite operations in Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Sarasota, Reno, and Honolulu.

Our charter services are available 24 hours a day 365 days a year. Our national fleet of 26 aircraft provides us the ability to meet any of your travel needs. From our new 16 passenger intercontinental Gulfstream IVsp, to our regional KingAir 90 turboprop, we have the type of aircraft to meet your needs.

Annually, our crews are sent through rigorous flight training with Flight Safety, the leading flight training company in the world. Furthermore, all crews have completed customer service and hospitality training. Because of our stature in the industry, we have the luxury of being able to select and hire the finest most experienced pilots. This in combination with our battery of training, without a doubt provides our customers the finest, safest, most comfortable travel experience available.
