Vertis Aviation is opening an office in and bringing its charter management program to the Americas, the Switzerland-based broker announced today. Its Americas office will be located in Boston and led by general manager Robert Coleman. The Boston office adds to four in Vertis’s network, including Dubai; Cape Town, South Africa; and Zug, Switzerland.

The announcement of the new office comes on the heels of Vertis receiving confirmation this week as an Argus Certified Broker. According to the Argus, Vertis is just one of 11 certified charter brokers. 

“The combination of our new office headed up by Robert, the launch of our Vertis aircraft charter program, and the trust we know customers associate with Argus gives Vertis a powerful springboard from which to dive deeper into the Americas market,” said Vertis CEO Jeffrey Emmenis. “We are successful pioneers of our specific business model in the [Europe, Middle East, and Asia] region, we have an amazing international network of clients, and our Argus certification officially recognizes the standards we’ve been delivering for years. We are really very excited about the opportunities in the Americas.”

Under its charter management program, Vertis markets and arranges charter flights for business aircraft owners and operators. Its portfolio includes two Boeing BBJs, an Airbus ACJ319, two Bombardier Global 6000s, a Gulfstream G450, and a Bombardier Challenger 350.
