Flying Group has once again added to its order book for new aircraft. The company plans to acquire a Citation Bravo, two CJ3s, three Mustangs, a Falcon 900DX and a Falcon 7X.

The latest fleet addition was a Falcon 900EX, which is based in Antwerp, Belgium, and flies predominantly to Russia and the Far East. According to marketing manager Ben Paindavin, the aircraft suits the company’s operations because of its short field performance, cabin size and range. It has 12 seats and features an EASy flight deck with HUD display.

Since it began operating the aircraft in May, the company has noted a ‘pleasing’ reaction from its customers. Flying Group also announced that it has enjoyed a 225 per cent increase in commercial flights with its fleet of 10 aircraft in the first half of 2005, compared with the same period last year.
