🎉 Happy National Intern Day to Hannah Yim.

✈️We are grateful for the energy, professionalism, and curiosity Hannah brought to Chantilly Air throughout her internship. As her internship comes to a close, we will miss her tremendously, and we are hopeful to welcome her back during future school breaks as she continues her education. 🎓

During her time with our team, Hannah gained hands-on experience in market research, relationship-building, and strategic outreach to potential clients. She also developed a stronger understanding of private aviation operations by working across multiple departments, including the FBO, CRM, Flight Ops, Maintenance, and Business Development teams. Through that experience, Hannah strengthened her research and communication skills, learned how each team contributes to the business, and adapted quickly to new environments, industry-specific platforms, and software. 📈

🤝Hannah has been an outstanding addition to the Chantilly Air team, and we are proud to have been part of her professional growth. Thank you, Hannah, for your hard work and your contributions. We look forward to seeing all you accomplish next. 👏

For owners and flight departments planning ahead, understanding the schedule behind the cost is what turns a surprise into a line item.

We're proud of our team!

Chantilly Air has earned WYVERN Wingman MRO and Wingman FBO certification — alongside the Wingman PRO certification we already hold for flight operations.

From the hangar to the ramp to the flight deck, every part of our operation now meets the same rigorous safety standard. That doesn't happen by accident. It happens because of the people who show up and do it right, every single day.

To our team: thank you. This one's yours.

✈️ Big news for business aviation in the DC region — and for Chantilly Air.

Virginia is investing $26 million to transform Washington Manassas Airport into a premier business aviation hub. New hangars, expanded ramp space, upgraded infrastructure, and a modernized air traffic control tower are all part of a deliberate push to give corporate travelers a faster, more reliable alternative to the congestion at Dulles and Reagan National.

For those of us who've called KHEF home for nearly 40 years, this validates what we've known all along: Manassas is the smarter choice for executives and companies who value schedule control, privacy, and efficiency over the chaos of the major hubs.

At Chantilly Air, we've been delivering that experience from this airport for decades — private jet charter, aircraft management, and FBO services built around one thing: keeping your team moving when it matters most. This investment puts the entire region's spotlight on what we've been doing right here all along.

The capital region is getting a world-class aviation campus. We've been here for 40 years. We'll be here for the next 40.
