FlairJet adds three new aircraft following Marshall takeover

                    

FlairJet will add a Cessna XLS operated by Marshall Executive Aviation to its managed fleet of aircraft, as well as a Citation Bravo and a Challenger 300 in the next month, following the company’s takeover by Marshall.

Integration of the two companies is progressing, with operations of the combined companies now centred at Oxford. FlairJet’s Carlo Montanini, commercial director, is now based at Cambridge Airport where administration and accounts remain. Meanwhile, MEA’s charter sales manager James Hunt and duty operations manager Andrew Rankine have taken up new residence at FlairJet’s Oxford base. 

“Under new ownership and importantly, from a strong financial base, FlairJet is very much looking forward to expanding its portfolio of managed aircraft,” said managing director David Fletcher.

“FlairJet genuinely understands the needs of our customers and the relationship that we maintain with our aircraft owners is without doubt the most important. We provide owners with the ability to track their aircraft’s movements online or via an App and we provide transparent billing solutions.  Additionally, our new ownership will enable aircraft owners to benefit directly from the Marshall Group’s vast resource, expertise and purchasing power.”

Marshall ADG’s acquisition of FlairJet further extends the service offering of the company’s new JETability brand, offering a ‘one call’ business aviation solution.

Steve Jones, managing director of Marshall Aerospace’s aviation services, said: “The consistent and ongoing investment offers terrific potential for our charter business, especially at a time when business aviation is being squeezed and priced out of the London hub airports.  We are ready when the upturn in the charter market in the UK and Europe comes.”
