German operator Heron Aviation is proud to announce further growth of its commercial management division with the addition of a Learjet 60. The aircraft will join Heron's certificate under EASA OPS with registration D-CHOW, and will strengthen Heron Aviation's charter fleet.

The aircraft, manufactured in 2000 with factory-installed winglets, features a spacious seven-passenger layout with natural lighting and a well-appointed cabin. The arrangement is comfortable for large and small groups and features excellent galley appliances.

A cruising speed of over 800 km/h means reduced flight time. The positioning of its home base in Madrid provides an optimum location for the most popular destinations in Europe, as well as a good base for summer leisure routes or Mediterranean destinations.

Accountable manager Martin Helbling says: “With this latest addition to our fleet, Heron Aviation continues to expand in the European region. The Learjet 60 is an excellent aircraft for the European continent. I'm proud of the team we have here at Heron, and we look forward to serving our charter and management customers with this beautiful new aircraft.”

Headquartered in southern Germany, Heron Aviation is an aircraft management and business aviation services company committed to the proper operation of the aircraft ownership experience.
