Global Jet has taken delivery of a Falcon 50EX that has been repainted and refurbished following a major technical overhaul in May. Global Jet believes the aircraft to be the only one of its kind kitted out with ProLine 21 avionics. It has a nine-seat cabin with entertainment system and is capable of landing on some of the shorter runways, including St Tropez and London City.

It also has the potential for transatlantic travel with a range of up to seven-and-a-half hours.

Global Jet's marketing department comments: “This new addition to the fleet follows the expansion strategy we have been working on. Since the beginning of the year 10 new aircraft joined our fleet, eight of them available for charter. Our fleet now counts more than 65 aircraft which confirms the major role we play in the private aviation market.”

Aircraft recently added to the roster include two G550s, able to accommodate up to 14 passengers and based at Moscow Sheremetyevo, a Falcon 2000Ex EASy and a Hawker 900XP. The number of Global Jet's flying hours has remained stable compared to last year. The operator's office in China has been intent on developing the business in Asia while its presence in the Middle East, Russia and Europe is also on the up. Its sales department comments: “Being able to offer the two jets [G550s] to our clients is an additional selling strength. Added to our current fleet, they will allow us to answer more requests, and to reach further destinations non-stop. Our clients trust us and we are always looking for new ways of pleasing them.”
