Adamantis has purchased a Falcon 900, which is currently managed by charter and sales broker

Air Entreprise.

Vice president Arnaud Poisson said: “The owner chose the 900 because he wanted a long range aircraft with a large cabin. We were also keen to have such an aircraft available in our charter fleet, as many of our customers were asking to charter a long range aircraft.”

So far the Falcon’s destinations have included Africa, the West Indies and the US.

Air Entreprise also manages a Falcon 50 and owns a twin jet Aerospatiale Corvette. Poisson added: “The Falcon 900 is very good for our image. We have a mixture of private individuals, company presidents and show business stars, so obviously such an aircraft will attract a great deal of interest.” The aircraft is an addition to the existing fleet.

Air Entreprise has a large hangar and a private terminal at its Le Bourget, Paris base, combined with handling and maintenance departments.

Poisson said: ”We are currently working on expansion plans, but have yet to decide what level of investment to put in.

“The French charter market is strong and not particularly affected by economic variables, so we don’t feel that the investment will be affected by the US slow down.”

The company has found that the market has remained stable, Poisson explained: “The private jet market is very special, as it only concerns a small number of people world wide. Consequently it’s difficult to introduce new ideas onto the market, although fractional ownership appears to be succeeding.”

The company has found the sales market to be relatively buoyant also, and believes it will continue to grow. “The price of aircraft is currently being pushed down by the deflated US market, which has knocked onto Europe and increased demand,” he said.
