SaxonAir grows charter fleet with addition of further managed aircraft

Private air charter operator SaxonAir Charter continues its growth this spring after signing an agreement to manage a further Hawker 900XP midsize jet. SaxonAir have owned and operated their own Hawker 900XP for the past two years and have over this time gained considerable experience of the aircraft and a regular client following.

SaxonAir ceo Alex Durand says 'We are all very pleased about the addition of another Hawker 900XP to the SaxonAir fleet. The aircraft is one of the most popular types we operate and it comes online at a great time in which we have seen continued growth in our charter utilisation.'

The Hawker 900XP is the world's bestselling midsize business jet and delivers an unrivalled combination of range, speed, payload and comfort. It can travel 2,700nm carrying up to eight passengers in comfort. This particular aircraft continues to be popular with SaxonAir's own customers due to its spacious modern layout, cabin attendant service and hot food capability. The aircraft has already flown to destinations in Russia, Italy, France and Israel since its recent introduction onto the fleet.

The aircraft management deal will see SaxonAir providing crewing, continuing airworthiness, maintenance and operational support under commercial air charter use. The aircraft will be based at London Luton airport increasing SaxonAir's London presence alongside its second Hawker 900XP and the smaller Hawker 400XP light jet. SaxonAir also operates Citation Mustang entry level jets, a King Air 350 turboprop as well as a mixed helicopter fleet from its Norwich headquarters and other locations in both the UK and Europe.
