Global Flight Solutions is bringing another Hawker 800 into service expanding its fleet to five aircraft. Paul Forster, ceo, says: "Since moving to the UK's Biggin Hill we have attracted a lot of interest from potential clients wishing to charter from us.

"In anticipation of our AOC issue, which we hope will be soon, we have been actively looking for the right aircraft to commence operations with. We will start with a Lear 45XR and two Hawker 800 and have the opportunity to add a couple of King Airs once our AOC is up and running. We are also in negotiations with clients to manage their larger Challenger and Gulfstream aircraft, so this year has started very well for us."

GFS purchased the ex-Formula One hangar (Diamond House) at Biggin Hill in July 2010 and following extensive refurbishment now offer a complete range of aviation services.

"We are pleased with the renovations and Biggin Hill is proving to be a great move for us," says Forster. "We now offer fixed wing and rotary sales, hangarage, management, operations and CAMO."
