Gainesville, Georgia flight center with affiliated Citation jet charter and aircraft sales
Lanier Flight Center is an aviation business at Lee Gilmer Memorial Airport (KGVL) in Gainesville, Georgia, with a second location at DeKalb-Peachtree Airport (KPDK) near Atlanta. Its core activity is pilot training and aircraft rental as a Cessna Pilot Center, and it runs a flying club.
Private charter is handled by the affiliated company Lanier Flight Express, which aggregator listings describe as an FAA Part 135 certificated operator based in Gainesville. According to the group's website, Lanier Flight Express also flies organ transport, medevac and cargo missions.
The charter fleet shown on the group's site is made up of Cessna Citation jets: a CJ1, CJ2+, CJ3 and two Citation XLS aircraft. Aviation trade press reported in 2025 that the company added its first Citation CJ2+ and named Gainesville and DeKalb-Peachtree as its main bases.
The group also sells aircraft and states that it is the U.S. distributor for Pipistrel light aircraft. Related businesses include an aircraft maintenance shop and Blue Ridge Helicopters, which offers Robinson helicopter instruction and tours.
