Fleet and Facilities

At Desert Skies, we don't own a fleet of planes—and that's by design. Instead, we strategically partner with the best flight clubs and schools across the Valley. This innovative model means you get access to a wider variety of well-maintained aircraft, more training locations, and the flexibility to fly what and where you want.
