Centreline Air Charter becomes one of the first UK charter operators to be P-RNAV (Precision Area Navigation) compliant.
Centreline Air Charter in Bristol has become one of the first aircraft operators in the UK to gain CAA approval and to become fully compliant with the new P-RNAV (Precision Area Navigation) standards, enabling its aircraft to operate into Europe’s main airports.
Amsterdam Schiphol became the first airport in Europe to allow only aircraft which fully meet the new P-RNAV standards, followed by London Heathrow, Gatwick, Zürich, Vienna International, Stockholm-Arlanda, Brussels, Malpensa, Nice Côte d’Azur and Faro Airports.
Centreline Air Charter, which is part of the Bristol Flying Centre (BFC) Group, operates five Citation Jets that are all now fully compliant with the P-RNAV standards.
BFC director, Phil Brockwell said: “Centreline Air Charter reacted quickly when learning of the restrictions these European Airports were planning to impose. It was critical that there were no limits placed on our customers wishing to fly to these key destinations and we are delighted that we have become one of the first operators to be awarded this approval and to meet the standards of P-RNAV. If we had not had such a well-equipped training facility in-house, the speed in which we have reached this stage would have not been possible.”
