Air Hamburg reports that its brand new King Air 200 is receiving positive feedback from clients and generating bookings. "The Proline 21 avionics is a big plus and the seven passenger capability is attracting interest. The aircraft is available through Avinode and our ops team are dealing with enquiries by email and telephone," ceo Floris Helmers says.

The German operator also operates two XLS+, two Citation Bravos and two CJ1s. Alexander Lipsky, md, says: "This is a good fleet to meet all client needs."

Helmers says: "We have also ordered a factory-new CJ3 which will be delivered in the first week of November 2010 and start operation from December. We are enjoying a great many business enquiries - and not just because our fleet is expanding. We are now an official FBO in Hamburg-Fuhlsbuettel Airport which offers its own crew rest lounge, free-of-charge crew cars and free-of-charge crew meals as well as vip Mercedes-Benz-Viano shuttle vehicles."
