The UK's Xclusive Jet Charter (XJC) has added a Citation II to its operating certificate and license. The Bournemouth-based business aviation charter and aircraft management company says that it is now able to offer owners of G-registered Citation I, II and Beech 90 aeroplanes an income stream from their aircraft when operated by XJC.

The company is planning to acquire additional executive charter and privately operated aircraft in

the near future, the first of which will be a newly ordered Raytheon Premier I, with delivery scheduled for March 2006 and revenue service entry soon after.

See next month's EBAN for a full report, including an interview with XJC md Steve Loveridge.
