ExecuJet Scandinavia has been awarded a JAR-OPS 1 AOC. The certificate follows an audit by the Danish CAA, the Statens Luftfarts-vaesen. Beforehand Air Alpha operated aircraft on ExecuJet's behalf. \rExecuJet presented operating manuals and procedures in March, 1999. This was followed by an on-site inspection in November, with a parallel process on the operations and maintenance side. The certificate was granted in December.\rSaid Willie Van Zyl, director of flight operations, Scandinavia: "ExecuJet is aircraft sales driven. We have a formula which has been tried and tested in South Africa - we operate planes ourselves to enhance our after-sales service. Flight oper-ations is not intended to be a profit-based operation, it is a means to enhance a sale."\rIn addition to executive jet charter, the company's flight operations division was recently appointed operating partner for Bombardier's Flexjet programme in Europe. In this capacity, the company currently operates two Learjet 31s, a Learjet 60 and a Challenger 601 from Roskilde Airport in Copenhagen.
