East Midlands to host FlairJet Phenom
FlairJet is to open two new bases at East Midlands and Dublin airports where it will position two Embraer Phenom 100 aircraft.

FlairJet is to open two new bases at East Midlands and Dublin airports where it will position two Embraer Phenom 100 aircraft.

The new East Midlands location will enable FlairJet to operate its Phenom around the clock, opening up great potential for freight and aero medical charters. A newly acquired Phenom 100 will be positioned there from the first week of September, complementing the company's Phenom 100 operations from its home base at Oxford.

A second Phenom 100 will be positioned at Dublin, which has consistently been a popular destination for FlairJet clients travelling on business and for leisure breaks from the UK and mainland Europe.

The operator continues to work closely with Embraer assisting with new aircraft deliveries. In August it delivered a privately owned Phenom 300 to Zurich and a 100 to Odessa in Russia. Meanwhile, the company is progressing with its plans to establish a centre of training excellence on the type to carry out base and line training for Phenom pilots. Its third party training department is currently staffed by three Phenom 100 and two 300 examiners.

The company reports that it has had a good start with its Phenom 300 working out of Cannes, and that this is due to return to the UK in the autumn.

FlairJet's growth in business is reflected in the increase of personnel, that now number 20, up from eight in December 2009.
