TAG Aviation (UK) Ltd is pleased to announce the addition of the Gulfstream G650 to its UK AOC.
Following the successful completion of the AOC proving flight, the leading private and business aviation operator has now received full UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) approval to operate this ultra-long range type aircraft commercially, becoming the first UK operator to have achieved this status.
The granting of the AOC for the G650 type aircraft is the culmination of several months of dedicated planning and reaffirms the ability of TAG Aviation to operate the latest revolutionary business jets aircraft to the highest possible standards.
Florent Sériès, vice president aircraft management and charter services, TAG Aviation Europe said, “TAG Aviation's number one priority is the safety, security and the well-being of passengers at all times. Receiving full UK AOC approval means that we can look to now attract other Gulfstream G650 aircraft-type owners with a view to operate their aircraft under a management contract for charter when the aircraft is not being used by them. This has the added attraction of allowing aircraft owners the opportunity to offset some of the operational costs against their own personal flights.”
TAG Aviation is proud to now manage seven of these revolutionary and sought-after G650 aircraft, making it one of the world's largest fleet. This technologically advanced, most fuel-efficient aircraft can fly near the speed of sound, with a maximum speed of Mach 0.925. With a range of 7,000 nautical miles the aircraft is capable of flying nonstop from London to Buenos Aires or Singapore. It features a wide cabin interior and is equipped with industry-leading inflight Wi-Fi and satellite communications systems.
TAG Aviation follows a unique approach to simplifying the complexities of aircraft ownership with unique turn-key solutions for each client. It leverages its fleet size and operational experience to deliver exceptional value and uncompromising results. Globally, TAG Aviation manages a fleet of over 120 aircraft, with around 50 available for charter.
