Europ Star extends fleet by two aircraft to cover rising charter demand

From today, Europ Star has two new aircraft in its charter fleet. Both jets, a Beech 400 (I-VITH) and a Hawker 800XP (I-PZZR), will be based in Parma, Italy, under the AOC of AliParma. Charter flights will be executed as Europ Star operated by AliParma.

“We were looking for a strategic and reliable partner and are excited to be working with AliParma. Our charter business has been doing exceptionally well, and right now we are at capacity,” said Werner Welz, CEO and founder. Europ Star recently celebrated its 1000th charter flight of the year.

Accommodating up to nine passengers, the Hawker 800XP offers a range of more than 4,800 kilometers. Comfortably seating seven to nine passengers, the Beech 400 offers a range of approximately 3,000 kilometers.

“This is an important first step in expanding our charter fleet, with more to follow. Due to the rising demand, we are currently negotiating and actively seeking additional partnerships across Europe to further increase our charter capacity,” Welz adds.
