Switzerland-headquartered aircraft charter, management and sales specialist Sparfell has created two subsidiaries, Sparfell España and Sparfell Malta.

The Madrid subsidiary will provide Sparfell services to Spanish customers who value local service and expertise from a global company. Rocio Masip has been appointed managing director.

Responding to specific needs expressed by clients, Sparfell's new Maltese AOC offers customers interested in its services and having, or wanting to have, a Maltese aircraft registration an alternative to registrations from its existing AOCs in Austria, San Marino and France.

Besides this geographical expansion, the number of aircraft in Sparfell's charter fleet has also increased, now totalling 35 aircraft under management. The latest additions to the charter fleet include two Falcon 7X, a Global 7500 and a Gulfstream 280, cementing Sparfell's positioning as a major player in the top five operators in Switzerland and Europe. To sustain the company's growth and ensure the highest service levels to clients, Sparfell has continuously recruited across all departments and has thus considerably increased its teams' sizes in the various subsidiary locations.

Moreover, Sparfell is now among the select few nominated as an EBAA ambassador, allowing the company to support the EBAA's mission to enable responsible, sustainable growth for business aviation in Europe, enhancing connectivity and creating opportunities.

In addition, Sparfell Lifestyle's business has launched an exclusive portfolio of villas and chalets. As a result, clients can obtain private access to a wide variety of properties for groups of all sizes in preferred destinations such as Ibiza, Saint Tropez, Meribel, Val d'Isère and Courchevel 1850. It has also taken on its first yacht in management, available for charter just in time for the summer holidays.
