PremiAir, the award winning UK-based aviation services company*, today announced the addition of the Learjet 45 to its Air Operator’s Certificate (AOC) and the immediate availability of its newly acquired fleet of Learjet 45 aircraft for charter. This follows PremiAir’s acquisition last month of the former Gold Air facilities at London Biggin Hill Airport.

“The Learjet 45 is fully proven in the European private jet charter market and we’re delighted to be up and running so quickly with our new charter operations,” said Neil Gibson, PremiAir’s Director of Aircraft Charter & Management. “We’ve had a lot of interest already for the Learjets, which complement our existing Hawker Beechcraft Premier 1 operations.  We have a terrific flight crew team in place, with considerable Learjet experience and this is a great opportunity for us to grow our position in the private jet charter market.”

Matt Ashby, PremiAir’s Operations Manager, added: “The Learjet 45’s excellent range, speed, payload and short runway performance makes this a very popular choice of aircraft for our clients. Capable of flying non-stop between London and Moscow, our Learjet fleet is also certificated for London City Airport, which adds an important dimension to our private jet services.”
