German operator Vibro-Air Flugservice has brought a CJ3 into charter operation. "We are proud that we convinced the aircraft owner that we are the best local choice for operating his aircraft," says new joint ceo Ammr Shaladi. "In operating the CJ3 we are not only further expanding the short and medium haul business but also the aircraft management division."

The CJ3, he says, carries up to seven passengers in comfort and is capable of flying distances such as Düsseldorf-Moscow non-stop and into airports including Cannes or London City. "The successor model of the CJ2 is well known for landing on short runways and in smaller airports."

Shaladi adds: "We are pleased that more aircraft owners are placing their trust in us and that this means we will be able to bring further aircraft into our fleet in the near future."

Vibro-Air, founded in 1987, now operates a Legacy 600, two Premier Is and an Astra SP. The operator, with bases in Düsseldorf and Mönchengladbach, plans to further expand the fleet with two Phenom 300s and a Legacy 500.
