AeroVanti CEO says Sarasota air-service company is back in business

AeroVanti CEO Patrick Britton-Harr has notified members of his financially troubled private air club that he plans to relaunch its service Nov. 1.

According to a report in the industry publication Private Jet Card Comparisons, Britton-Harr reached out in an email Sunday afternoon saying the company “is opening up flight operations” on business jets and has begun taking reservations for flights in November and December.

“What I am about to share with you, I have discussed with a few supportive members already,” he wrote, “however, I am sure this email will come as a surprise to many of you.”
