Lanier Flight Center’s charter operations branch is about to add a $1.5 million jet to its fleet of general aviation aircraft. President Troy Wheeler said that starting in October, Lanier Flight Express will begin offering charter trips from Lee Gilmer Memorial Airport on an 8-seat Cessna Citation for people who “need to get somewhere fast.” He bought the jet several months back.
