Jet Aviation (Malta) (JML, Malta International) has retired its sole Global 5000, as revealed by ch-aviation research. Nevertheless, the Jet Aviation group will continue to operate the type as part of the approximately 300 aircraft it manages worldwide.
9H-DMC (msn 9586) completed its final flight under Maltese registration on October 15, 2024, flying from Belgrade Nikola Tesla to London Biggin Hill, where it has remained parked since being re-registered in the Isle of Man as M-ARIA, on October 29, 2024. At 11.2 years old, the aircraft was originally delivered to Global Jet Luxembourg (SVW, Luxembourg) and has already operated under an Isle of Man registration between 2016 and 2018. Before joining Jet Aviation's Maltese fleet in December 2023, it was operating privately under a US registration.
Following this retirement, Jet Aviation has paused Bombardier Business Aircraft operations in Malta, where it offers aircraft management and charter services, with a fleet now comprised of four aircraft - one B737-700(BBJ), one GVII-G500, one GVII-G600, and one PC-12. The Jet Aviation group, a wholly owned subsidiary of General Dynamics with a global presence, also provides aircraft sales, completions, maintenance, staffing, and FBO (fixed base operator) services.
