International operator Sparfell has welcomed a factory-new Gulfstream G500 into its fleet. This is the second aircraft of its type in the company’s fleet that will be available for ad hoc charter.

With a full set of crew, including four pilots and two flight attendants, the G500 aircraft is ready to offer its passengers an outstanding experience.

“Passengers will enjoy a very peaceful flight thanks to the incredible noise reduction of the cabin, plus a very well designed interior with those very large windows. Enhanced by refined Sparfell on-board services, passengers will probably forget they are cruising at Mach 0.90,” comments sales and operations director Mejdi Habib. “This addition will strengthen our position on the market as a leading operator able to provide charter customers with a large range of very recent aircraft. Around 85 per cent of our charter fleet is less than seven years old, with so far three new deliveries in 2025 and hopefully more to come.”

From a more general perspective and despite a very challenging environment – including turbulence on the stock exchange and implementation of new taxes and regulations in Europe – Sparfell has achieved numerous successes with some steady additions to its fleet, an increase of charter activities and the closing of some trading deals. The development of Sparfell Lifestyle activities, the partnership with M&R Design and the recent launch of Sparfell & Karen Helicopters (SKH) are important milestones for the group, offering clients a wide scope of solutions in a one-stop shop.

SKH is a company specialised in VIP helicopter charter services, born from the strategic alliance between two major Swiss players in business aviation. Operating out of Geneva and Ticino, SKH plays a role in the world of private aviation as the dedicated helicopter charter sales team for Sparfell and Karen. With a clear mission to support helicopter owners, SKH says it specialises in facilitating charter flights and flight hour sales with efficiency and professionalism.

Beyond managing direct charters, SKH also acts as a broker, organising sub-charter flights when needed to meet the specific needs of discerning clients. This flexible approach ensures that no request goes unmet, regardless of complexity.
