Press Release
Issued by Av8jet Charter.
July 22, 2021
Av8jet Ltd, a UK specialist in jet aircraft sales, acquisitions, software and management based at Bournemouth International Airport, has launched a new sister company, Av8jet Charter Ltd, based in Malta to operate charter flights for its European clients and host aircraft for its growing client base.
The first aircraft added to its Air Operator Certificate is a Piaggio Avanti II P180, which has a new VIP interior fitted by AeroVisto Interior Services AG in Switzerland. The Piaggio Avanti II is perfect for charter clients; while the cabin size is the same width and height as a Hawker, the type uses up to 40% less fuel for comparable speeds and distances, making it much cheaper to operate per hour. With a reduced carbon footprint, the P180 is perfect as sustainability becomes increasingly important for charter clients.
Av8jet is unique in providing a range of aircraft management services as well as developing its own proprietary software management system which includes SMS, fatigue safety management, flight scheduling and document control as well as a comprehensive e-learning training platform for other Part CAT and NCC operators.
Accountable manager, John Norris said “Our company is built around a very talented team of individuals who share the same safety culture. Together with them, it has been a pleasure working with the very knowledgeable people at Transport Malta, who have been extremely professional throughout the process.”
Director general of Transport Malta, Mr Charles Pace said “It is always a pleasure when a new company approaches CAD for an AOC. Av8jet has worked very hard to meet the regulatory requirements required to obtain and retain an EASA AOC. We are confident that the company will grow and add value to the growing list of companies under our oversight. I would like to thank the CAD inspectors for their efforts and also Av8Jet for deciding to set up in Malta.”
