AvCraft has delivered the first of eight Dornier 328JETs to club328 last month. The aircraft made its debut in September, flying vips and celebrities to the south of France, followed by a commercial charter to Palma, Mallorca.

Club328 becomes the first operator of the 328JET, having placed an order this summer with the US manufacturer. The company’s second aircraft is due to depart Oberphaffenhofen, Germany for club328’s UK base at Southampton Airport by the middle of October, followed by the third and fourth aircraft in December. Said ceo Warren Seymour: “With the 32BJET’s excellent economics, we can deliver extremely competitive rates in the European charter market.”
