Aerowest Sovereign expands long haul capability
Germany's Aerowest GmbH is bringing a Citation Sovereign into operation, adding a broader and deeper international dimension to its charter operations.

Germany's Aerowest GmbH is bringing a Citation Sovereign into operation, adding a broader and deeper international dimension to its charter operations. Sales manager Axel Klegien says the acquisition is the logical next step up from the XLS+ which has proved popular with clients.

"The Sovereign adds an extra European and longer haul dimension," Klegien adds. "It will help us to target a more global market as it brings Russia, Africa and even transatlantic destinations within reach."

Aerowest, which provides ambulance services as well as vip charter, believes that its quick response culture has helped keep its business levels high during the global economic recession.

"We respond very quickly to charter requests," says Klegien, "and our clients can be airborne within an hour of a confirmed booking. We also provide an attendant at no extra charge and this is popular. Clients appreciate the prompt first class service and we have had an excellent response to the XLS+ which joined our fleet in May of this year. We expect the Sovereign will prove very popular."

Hanover-based Aerowest, which celebrates its 45th anniversary in 2010, has a strong Citation fleet which includes a Citation V configured for seven passengers and a Citation Encore+ configured for eight.

It also has a 560XLS+ and the 680 Sovereign will be available later this year. The medevac assignments are carried out by its two PA42s and two Cessna 425 Conquests.

Aerowest also offers freight charter and other business areas include a flight school and an extensive maintenance facility for own and third party aircraft.
