Luxaviation adding third Praetor 600 to fleet
Based at Farnborough Airport, the aircraft is now supporting the operator's increase in demand for the summer social season.
Luxaviation UK is adding its third Praetor 600 to the UK register, making it the only UK operator to have a trio in its fleet.
The firm has converted the third aircraft from the San Marino register to make the aircraft easier to charter for clients in the UK as demand rises.
George Galanopoulos, CEO of Luxaviation UK said: “This year, we are excited to celebrate our 30th anniversary and enhance our offering in the UK. The Praetor 600 is an extremely popular aircraft with our charter clients, renowned for its long and short distance travel and versatile performance.
“This conversion adds to Luxaviation UK’s already strong Praetor 600 offering, making us the only operator with three Praetor 600s on the UK register.”
With a range of 4,000nm (7,408 km) and capacity for up to nine passengers, the Praetor 600 offers long-distance travel between major hubs such as London – Dubai and London – New York.
Patrick Hansen, CEO of Luxaviation Group said: “By transferring the Praetor 600 to the UK register, Luxaviation UK is making it even easier for clients to access our charter services, while enhancing operational flexibility and delivering a seamless booking experience.”
The UK division of Luxaviation now operates a fleet of more than 20 aircraft including Bombardier, Gulfstream and Embraer business jets. Back in April, the operator added a Luxembourg‑registered Gulfstream G550 to its UK fleet based between the South of France and Istanbul.
“The Gulfstream G550 continues to set benchmarks for comfort and reliability in the ultra-long-range segment. Its addition to the Luxaviation UK fleet reflects our ongoing investment in modern, high-performance aircraft that exceed expectations,” said Hansen at the time.
