EXECUJET FIRST
ExecuJet has taken delivery of the first European registered Bombardier Learjet 60XR following European Aviation Safety Agency validation of the mid-size jet late in October. The privately owned aircraft will be managed by ExecuJet and will join the Denmark, Copenhagen-based company's 15-strong business jet fleet, which includes a Bombardier Challenger 850, Learjet 40XR, Global Express XRS, Hawker 800/800XP and an Embraer Legacy 600.
FLEET EXPANDS
Luxury charter company Royal Jet has added a Gulfstream GIV-SP to its expanding management and charter fleet. The Abu Dhabi-based operator, which is the Middle East's largest private jet operator with a 16% market share, says its is targeting 25% growth this year based on its 2006 performance.
CERTIFICATED SEATING
Landmark Aviation has received US Federal Aviation Administration approval for the installation of a double-club seating arrangement - using the Decrane 5400 series seats - on a Dassault Falcon 900 business jet. The Falcon 900 typically has conference and club group seating in the cabin, says Landmark "but the double-club style uniquely allows eight passengers to sit in groups of two during travel".
