Gerrit Basson, President: Aviation Services, ExecuJet Aviation Group, says: “Long-range aircraft such as the Bombardier Global 6000 and Dassault Falcon 7X are proving very popular and we are emerging as one of the world's largest operators of both aircraft types. As the business aviation market recovers, we expect aircraft of this size to remain popular. Nonetheless, we are also seeing the  global market  recovery  reflected  across  the  breadth  of  our  fleet,  from  turboprops  to  rotor aircraft,  with  a range  of additions including  a Beechcraft  King  Air 350 and  Airbus  AS350  B3e helicopter in Africa. Our managed fleet in Asia is also seeing fast growth, with high interest in ExecuJet's aircraft management offering in Asia.

Our charter fleet continues to grow too, with the addition of two managed aircraft available for charter – a Dassault Falcon 2000S in Billund, Denmark and a Bombardier Challenger 604 based in Sydney, Australia. As we continue to receive positive feedback and referrals from our clients, we anticipate our managed and charter fleets expanding further in the coming months.”
