Jet Aviation's Private Fleet Gets
Its First Cessna Citation Bravo

Jet Aviation European Private Fleet's new Bravo is available for charter.

The first of two Citation Bravos was recently added to Jet Aviation's European Private Fleet in Zurich, where it will be based. It is the first Bravo to be commercially registered and operated in Switzerland, and is the first to be available for charter in Europe.

The move follows the addition last year of 18 aircraft to Jet Aviation's managed fleet, reflecting what it called "unprecedented growth" in European and in Middle East and Far East markets. Its managed fleet now exceeds 150 aircraft.

Among last year's additions were three aircraft for the European aircraft management division, including a McDonnell-Douglas MD-83 "configured for top-level VIP transportation in the Middle East," a Falcon 900EX for Europe, and a Bombardier Global Express destined for service in the Far East.

Additions in the U.S. included a Falcon 50 and a Falcon 2000, a Gulfstream IV, a Bombardier Challenger 600 and a Hawker 700. The U.S. fleet of Jet Aviation-managed aircraft now numbers over 80.

Jet Aviation reminds NBAA attendees that it's the "only global business aviation service company," with more than 3,500 employees in more than 30 locations in North and South America, Europe, and the Middle and Far East.

It's the world's largest operator of Gulfstreams (36 aircraft), Falcon Jets (25) and Challengers (22). Jet Aviation logged more than 40,000 charter hours last year.
