Meridian Air Charter: Largest GIV Charter Fleet in the North Eastern United States with Recent Addition of Sixth GIV

TETERBORO NJ, July 25, 2008
Meridian Air Charter, a private aviation services company, has the largest GIV charter fleet in the North East with the most recent addition of a Gulfstream IV SP to their fleet of charter aircraft. The premium large cabin Gulfstream is based in Teterboro, NJ (TEB) and is Meridian's sixth GIV available for charter.

"The Gulfstream IV has been such a big part of our success," said Director of Charter Sales and Client Services Andrew Ladouceur, "adding a sixth G-IV to our fleet is exciting for Meridian. The 1996 GIV SP will provide Meridian's clients exactly what they demand in modern, efficient corporate aircraft."

The large GIV SP cabin comfortably invites 14 passengers with soft, camel colored, plush, leather seats and two lengthy, light tweed fabric sofas. All seating is berthable, ideal for long trips. Warm hues of taupe, sage and caramel envelop the cabin. Handsome earth toned pinstriped fabric coat the walls with contrasting deep auburn woodwork with gold inlay. The aircraft has cabin dividers offering a private forward state room with forward crew lavatory as well as a private aft lavatory. The in-flight service staff can accommodate passengers with the most lavish of dining needs in the fully equipped galley. Travel time may be spent efficiently via 110 volt outlets and an in-flight phone with fax and data capability, or relaxingly by lounging in leather seats to enjoy monitoring the flight with Airshow®. The
state-of-the-art entertainment system includes two DVD players, a Sony® 10 disk CD and cassette player, and a Brother MFC 670 FAX/printer/copier in the main cabin.

The Gulfstream IV was introduced in 1985 and the Gulfstream IV-SP in 1993. The Gulfstream IV is the world's best-selling, large-cabin business jet aircraft and has earned an impressive record for technical performance, comfort, safety and reliability. There are 535 GIV/GIV-SP/G300/G400 aircraft in worldwide service. To date, the GIV/GIV-SP fleet has accumulated more than two million hours of flight time and boasts an impressive dispatch reliability rate of over 99.8 percent. The GIV and GIV-SP hold over 70 Gulfstream's History world and national records. On December 3, 2002, Gulfstream rolled out its 500th GIV aircraft officially ending the GIV-series.
