Gestair Aviation Malta (GSM, Malta International) has added its first GVII-G500, as revealed by ch-aviation research. This marks the third Gulfstream Aerospace jet registered with Gestair Aviation Malta, a subsidiary of Gestair Private Jets (GES, Madrid Barajas) since 2020, and the ninth Gulfstream in the group's overall fleet, including six more jets in its parent company in Spain.
9H-BFE (msn 72032) is 5.3 years old and was privately operated in the US; its final flight under its previous registration, N132BL, took place on October 8, 2024, between Miami International and Malta International.

With this addition, Gestair Aviation Malta now operates a fleet of six aircraft under its Air Operator's Certificate (AOC), including one Challenger 605, one Falcon 7X, one G450, one G650, and one PC-12.
