flyADVANCED Jet (TKK, Wilmington New Castle) has retired three distinct aircraft types from its Part 135-certified fleet, including its sole Citation Jet 3+, a Praetor 600, and its last Learjet 75, as reported by ch-aviation research.
Citation Jet 3+ N691CJ (msn 525B-0691) made its last flight under flyADVANCED Jet’s 'TKK' code on October 18, 2024, travelling from Brownsville to Guatemala City. The 1.8-year-old aircraft joined the operator’s fleet in March, and following its retirement it is now privately operated under the same registration. The company will continue to offer three units of its sister variant, the Citation Jet 3, for charter.
Meanwhile, Praetor 600 N598DB (msn 55020127) completed its final service under the 'TKK' code on September 20, flying from Wilmington New Castle to Trenton, NJ. The 3.8-year-old jet, which had been part of the flyADVANCED fleet since July 2022, has transitioned to private operation in the US, retaining the same registration. flyADVANCED Jet will continue to operate another Embraer Executive Jets model, the Phenom 300.
Learjet 75 N588SG (msn 75-034) made its final journey under the 'TKK' code on August 3, from Trenton, NJ to Miami Opa-Locka. Between October 20 and 21, the aircraft flew to Campinas Amarais, with stops at Fort Lauderdale International, Bridgetown, Manaus International and Vitória Goiabeiras. After being de-registered on November 4, it was exported to Brazil with the reserved registration PS-GYP, according to the Brazilian Aircraft Registry. It is now owned by Razac International Trade, an import and export company dealing in goods, including aircraft.
flyADVANCED Jet had operated two Learjet 75s between October 2021 and June 2022, with this being the final unit in service. It remained with the company for five years before its retirement and will now operate for the first time under a non-US registration.
Following these retirements, flyADVANCED Jet's charter fleet now comprises 14 aircraft, including three Citation Jet 3s, one Citation Jet 4 Gen2, one Citation Latitude, one Dassault Aviation Falcon 900LX, one Phenom 300, two Pilatus Aircraft PC-12s, two Cirrus SR-22s, and three Cirrus SR-22Ts.
