ACM Air Charter now has a second Citation X to offer clients. The aircraft was delivered straight from the factory, and the German based firm will operate the aircraft on behalf of an undisclosed company, which is using ACM for the first time. Six seats are available for the passengers, and a bench in the cabin allows greater relaxation space.

Iris Bauke, management assistant at ACM said: “We operate the Citation X because it is the fastest business jet. We have the maintenance and pilot network set up, and that is why the owner chose us to operate the aircraft.” The company now has four aircraft: two Citation Xs, one Citation VII and a Challenger 604, all operated for different owners. ACM says its market has a bias towards corporate clients who provide roughly 60 per cent of its business.

The Citation X is generally used for long haul flights, both around Europe and transatlantic. The Citation VII is the only aircraft restricted to Europe-wide flights, and generally caters for the domestic market.

The charter market in Germany is relatively buoyant at the moment, and ACM says it is currently looking at the possibility of managing another Citation X. There are no future plans to buy an aircraft though, as the company prefers to focus on management for practical reasons.
