Prince Aviation is expanding its fleet, bringing a Mustang into operation and acquiring a Falcon 2000LX which will be in service within two years.

Vladimir Jovanovic, ceo, says the aircraft complement the Serbian operator's current fleet which includes three Citation XLS, a Citation I and a Bravo.

"The Mustang, as you might expect, is in demand for small groups of businessmen flying in the region around Serbia," he says. "The 2000LX will obviously add to our long range capability."

Prince Aviation, launched 20 years ago, runs its own training organisation and this provides it with a pool of type-rated pilots. It also operates a GAT in Belgrade, carries out Part 145 maintenance and offers medevac services.

"Prince Aviation provides a one-stop-shop for private aviation clients and operators in Serbia and surrounding countries," says Jovanovic. "The company has developed considerably since it was launched as an air taxi operation and the new aircraft will help maintain our market leading status."

He adds: "Prince Aviation is the oldest private airline company in Serbia and Montenegro. Despite its modest beginning with only one aircraft and totally unfavourable working conditions during the 1990s, we have managed to increase our fleet to eight and to expand our services to the whole of Europe and the Mediterranean, Middle East, as well as North Africa."
