AL!8BT has acquired its first Citation XLS business jet from fellow Canadian business aviation operator Fast Air, ch-aviation research has revealed.
C-FDXU (msn 560-5688) was registered to the new operator on August 20, 2024. Subsequently, it entered into service on September 4, flying from Toronto Pearson to Timmins and back.
The 17.5-year-old aircraft has been operated in Canada since 2017, previously by Skyservice Business Aviation and Fast Air. It joins a Citation VII in Jet-Share Aviation's fleet. The fractional ownership specialist also used to have a number of other Cessna Aircraft Company Citation family aircraft in the past but has never operated aircraft from any other manufacturer.
Following the retirement of the Citation XLS, Fast Air's fleet comprises one Citation Jet 3, one Citation X, two Challenger 350s, three G150s, one G280, one PC-12/45, two Beech B300s, nine Beech B200s, one TBM-700, and one Bell 206 helicopter.
