Premier Aircraft Expands into the Caribbean

Premier Aircraft’s territory now stretches across half of the country, with sales and service bases in Fort Lauderdale, Florida (KFXE); Fort Worth, Texas (KFTW); and Norwood, Massachusetts (KOWD). It focuses on Diamond’s line of aircraft, including the DA40 NG, DA42, DA50 RG, and DA62, which can use a wide range of diesel fuels, including jet-A.

“We are extremely proud and grateful that Diamond Aircraft has selected us as their exclusive sales and service representative in these 21 Caribbean Island countries,” said Travis Peffer, CEO for Premier Aircraft Sales. 

“Our successful history as an authorized Diamond dealer began shortly after Premier opened its doors in 2003. Being awarded the Caribbean Island territory is the next great step in our long and successful relationship.” Premier will handle the territory from its location at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport in Florida.

Premier has sold more than 730 new and used Diamond aircraft over the course of its more than 20-year run, making it one of Diamond’s top dealers in volume.

“Premier Aircraft Sales has been a long-term successful dealer and service center for Diamond Aircraft,” said Annemarie Mercedes Heikenwälder, head of sales and marketing at Diamond Aircraft. 

“Premier boasts excellent sales in both new and used aircraft, but convenient and reliable service solutions throughout their territory. Headquartered in southern Florida, Premier is the gateway to the Caribbean, and we are confident they will serve this market very well.”

With the availability of jet-A throughout the Caribbean often more consistent than that of 100LL, the Diamond line should see good penetration into the regional sales market.
