The Miroglio Group of Alba in Italy has recently purchased a Citation Bravo – G-MIRO – and has based the aircraft in the UK, at Stansted airport. With regard to the company’s choice of aircraft, Miroglio’s Dr Paolo Mazzitelli told EBAN: “We chose the Citation Bravo mainly because of its price. The quality and comfort were of secondary importance to us.”

Miroglio’s Bravo will now make regular flights to North Africa and Bulgaria, particularly the latter. The company carries out a lot of business in Bulgaria and says links are quite bad to this former eastern bloc country.

The Bravo, which carries up to eight passengers, is the only aircraft which Miroglio owns. It will be based at Stansted, said Mazzitelli, “for no special reason”.
