Aviation Beauport goes for two XLS
Jersey-based Aviation Beauport is taking delivery of two new Citation XLS early in 2007 that it has ordered to meet charter demand. Dave Heaney, customer services manager, says: "Our existing XLS is never here. It is always flying out of London so we have ordered two more for charter."

Jersey-based Aviation Beauport is taking delivery of two new Citation XLS early in 2007 that it has ordered to meet charter demand. Dave Heaney, customer services manager, says: "Our existing XLS is never here. It is always flying out of London so we have ordered two more for charter." Aviation Beauport runs an FBO and is a management and charter company which offers aircraft and boat services. It operates several corporate jets including a Citation II and a Citation Excel for charter, in addition to operating a number of other corporate jets, an HS 125, a Citation, two Citation Excels and a Citation X for their owners. The second XLS is due to arrive in January and the third in March. Aviation Beauport focuses on 'off island' flights to the UK and other destinations but has a Chieftain for shorter inter-island hops or journeys to the nearby French coast.
