Italian operator Eurofly Service is bringing a second Falcon 7X into service. "Our two new 7Xs will be operated from Turin and Treviso," says vp Alessandro Baviera. "The 7X range will enable us to meet established long range demand to fly to the United States and to Asia from Europe. China will develop into a very important market and we are strategically placed to grow with demand having come to an agreement with a company in Hong Kong that specialises in aircraft sales. There will be a growing demand for aircraft management in China and we have long-standing expertise in a number of different types. Our focus is on being one of the most efficient aircraft management companies in Europe that can also provide competitive maintenance and sound acquisition advice."

Eurofly, which started life as Fiat's flight department, is also looking to upgrade one of its two Falcon 2000s with a Falcon 2000LX. The Eurofly fleet now includes Falcon 50, a Learjet 40 and 60, an Avanti II and two Agustas, a 109 Elite and a 139.

Eurofly is working closely with Topjet Executive and its president Dino Rasero and is basing a new Hawker 750 at Milan Linate, where Topjet is opening a 1,100 sq m hangar and office facility. Baviera says the Learjet 40 could also possibly be based at Milan Linate. The aircraft will be on the Bizjet Aircraft and Helicopters Management (AH&M) AOC. Eurofly Service owns 99 per cent of Bizjet AH&M.
