ACE 2026 - September 8th





Czech operator Atmospherica has made a major investment in three additional Phenom 300E and one more Praetor 600E.
In 2027, one new Phenom 300E will be delivered, increasing Atmospherica’s Phenom fleet to seven aircraft. Six of these aircraft will be utilised in commercial operations, while the seventh aircraft will be used as a spare to help out in AOG situations or during maintenance. The remaining two Phenom 300Es are set to arrive in 2028.
In addition, the company has recently signed an order for a brand-new Praetor 600E, with delivery planned in 2029, increasing its Praetor fleet to three aircraft, expanding its capabilities on long-range missions. The two existing Praetor 600 super midsize jets in the fleet offer a range of up to 7,441 km, full flat seats, and high-speed onboard wi-fi, making them ideal for longer missions across the Middle East, Africa, North America and beyond. The newly ordered Praetor 600E will further strengthen this segment of the fleet by providing additional capacity for long-range charter operations while maintaining the same high standard of comfort and performance that clients expect.
By continuously modernising its fleet, Atmospherica aims to maintain its position as an operator of one of the newest and most modern business jet fleets in Europe. Going forward, aircraft replacements are carried out systematically based on fleet age, ensuring the average fleet age remains below approximately 2.5 years.
“For clients, Atmospherica delivers much more than private aircraft,” explains Alice Horvath-Muska, accountable manager. “Every detail is designed to enhance the travel experience, from the welcome scene to preparing special occasions on board, complimentary unlimited internet on board the Praetor fleet and company-covered de-icing costs to tailor-made high quality catering and a wide selection of wine and champagne on board coordinated by a dedicated team in close collaboration with their flight crews.
“These investments reflect Atmospherica's long-term confidence in the business aviation market and its commitment to offering one of the youngest, most reliable and customer-focused fleets in Europe. The first half of the year has met the company's expectations, with continued strong demand for both super light and super midsize aircraft, and Atmospherica remains optimistic about the months ahead. The only unexpected influence was and is the war in Middle East that restricts possibilities to fly into the region, mainly to Dubai, and triggers high fuel prices, but this is the same situation for all operators to deal with.”
Looking forward, the company's ambitions remain clear: continue investing in its fleet, further enhancing customer experience, and strengthening its position as one of Europe's leading business aviation operators.
Atmospherica is aiming to reclaim The Air Charter Association's ‘Charter Operator of the Year’ title this year as it is nominated for the third year in a row as a finalist.
