Flexjet Ltd, the European arm of US fractional operator Flexjet, has had a busy start to operations with its fleet of Nextant 400XTis. "The jets are flying more hours than we had targeted," states CEO Ray Jones. "We have priced the aircraft sensibly and our aircraft owners in the US really appreciate the effort that sister company Constant Aviation has put into refurbishing the Nextants.

"Our focus is serving our installed base of owners in the US, which is quite large. Clients can fly across the Atlantic in our long range jets and then utilise the dedicated Flexjet fleet while in Europe."

Flexjet is also ahead of schedule for introducing super midsize aircraft to the fleet. "We will be taking Legacy 600s, fully refurbished, with a very high quality look and feel. These are a mature product in this market."
