Stark Airways Launches New Brand and Expands Private Aviation Platform Ahead of NBAA-BACE
Now Talaria Jet, the private aviation company builds on 50 years of aviation experience with an expanding platform spanning fractional ownership, aircraft management and charter
AKRON, Ohio, Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Stark Airways today announced the launch of its new identity, Talaria Jet, marking a new chapter for the Midwest-based private aviation company and reflecting its broader vision for growth across fractional ownership, aircraft management, and charter.
Built on five decades of aviation experience and an established culture of safety and service, Talaria Jet is creating a relationship-driven private aviation platform designed to combine the capabilities and operating discipline of a sophisticated aviation organization with the personal service and accountability of a boutique operator.
The company is expanding its aircraft management and charter operations while developing a regional, hub-based fractional ownership program for customers seeking a more personal and flexible alternative to traditional national fractional programs. The multi-aircraft platform is being designed to accommodate a broad range of owner missions while maintaining Talaria's emphasis on personalized service and direct relationships.
"Talaria is an evolution of what this team has built over the past 50 years," said Will Harton, President of Talaria Jet. "We have an opportunity to create a different kind of private aviation company; one with the capabilities, safety culture and operating discipline clients expect from a sophisticated organization, while also preserving genuine relationships and direct accountability to the customer."
Talaria is initially concentrating its growth in the Midwest and Southeast, where the company has existing aviation infrastructure, established customer relationships and a growing network of business partners. The company is also evaluating additional hubs across the eastern United States as it builds a regional network to provide customers with greater aircraft access and operational flexibility.
The Talaria name reflects the company's forward-looking vision while maintaining the principles that have defined the organization for decades. In Greek mythology, talaria were the winged sandals associated with speed and effortless movement, aligning with the company's mission to make private aviation more seamless, responsive and personal.
Additional details regarding Talaria's fractional ownership program, fleet strategy and future operating hubs will be announced as aircraft are added to the platform and the company continues its expansion.
Talaria Jet representatives will attend the 2026 NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA-BACE) in Las Vegas, October 20–22, where the leadership team will meet with aircraft owners, customers, manufacturers and industry partners.
