Comlux has received approval from Maltese Authorities to operate its Airbus fleet in Low Visibility Operations down to Category 3A automatic landing minima.

Approval means that Comlux becomes one of the first vip charter operators able to offer the highest level of operational reliability to its passengers.

Category 3A approval will allow the Comlux Airbus fleet to operate in conditions where visibility at the destination airport is reduced to 200 metres instead of the normal required minimum of 550 metres. This approval is a precursor to an application for licence to operate to visibilities as low as 75 metres, the minimum permitted for any operator with current industry standards.

Separately, Comlux is moving its charter and aircraft management division based in Zurich - Fly Comlux - to new offices at Zurich Kloten airport in April. Four of its aircraft are based in Zurich. Comlux has recently taken delivery of a second A318 Elite, extending its Airbus fleet to three aircraft available for charter.
