Landmark excels in both. Landmark has one of the most extensive, fastest growing fleets of charter aircraft in the country along with a team of seasoned charter sales professionals. The brokers and our industry know us, and our extensive network provides a continual feed of opportunities. With over 50 FBOs, including facilities at four of the top five GA airports in the country, Landmark leverages its strong presence to keep your aircraft flying when you are not. From turbo-props to ultra-long-range jets, Landmark compliments retail charter sales through strong partnerships with reputable brokers and fellow operators. Generating leaseback revenue to defray your total cost of ownership has never been easier. 11
