Craft (Miami Opa-Locka) has added a first Challenger 350, the company announced on social media.

The 10-year-old aircraft, N575MW (msn 20577), is configured for up to nine passengers and will be based out of Miami. It was unveiled at an event at Miami Opa-Locka on August 18, coinciding with the jet's first flight under Craft's callsign 'POD4', from White Plains, where it was previously based.

In an exclusive interview with ch-aviation in 2024, chief executive officer, Israel Slod said the company was seeking to acquire Challenger 300s built from 2010 onwards. Craft's Part 135 certificate now comprises the newly added Challenger 350, three Challenger 300s, flying under callsigns 'POD1', 'POD2', and 'POD3', and a Premier IA from Slod’s earlier venture. He confirmed to ch-aviation that two additional Challenger 350s are expected to join the fleet.

The company's business model consists on building "pods" of five aircraft. It relies on a 721 exchange structure, also known as an umbrella partnership real estate investment trust (UPREIT), a mechanism commonly used in the United States real estate sector to defer capital gains taxes.

This Challenger 350 was formerly operated under the Part 135 certificate of Jet Aviation Flight Services (JAS, Teterboro), which continues to include another Challenger 350 and two Challenger 300s. As of July, the company's Part 135-certified fleet also comprised 52 other aircraft manufactured by Bombardier Business Aircraft, Cessna Aircraft Company, Dassault Aviation, Embraer Executive Jets, Gulfstream Aerospace, and Sikorsky Aircraft.
