ICEJET, JETCOM SEAL 328 PACT
London Oxford-based charter operator Icejet is to provide maintenance and crew support for JetCom Aviation's 31-seat Dornier 328, which currently flies shuttles between Exeter, Farnborough and Malpensa airports for a large Italian corporation. A strategic alliance between the firms saw the aircraft transferred to the Icelandic air operator's certificate in March, with a second 31-seat D328 expected to follow soon. The existing Icejet D328 fleet includes a 14 seat VIP version and another 19 seater in all-business class configuration.
