World Executive Airways of Lydd, UK, is close to adding a Beechjet 400A to its AOC. The company has been managing the aircraft on behalf of a private owner since last year (see EBAN July 2010).

The Beechjet will line up alongside a Baron and Super King Air 200, and three Piper PA31-350 twins in May, says director Robin Gordon.

WEA is a subsidiary of Atlantic Bridge Aviation, along with Lyddair which operates scheduled flights from Lydd to Le Touquet, Air Share, an entry-level programme for fractional ownership of PA31 chieftain, and The Beech Club, offering A36 Bonanzas and B58 Baron to group members.
