International Jet Management (IJM, Vienna) has retired its sole G550, as confirmed by ch-aviation research, though it will continue to manage a similar GV model in its fleet.
OE-LSE (msn 5508) last operated under the 'IJM' code at the end of October, flying between Geneva and Stuttgart Manfred Rommel on October 28, before travelling to Oxford, CT the following day with a stop at Bangor International. Two days later, it was re-registered as N1CD and is yet to operate under its new registration.
The 9.2-year-old Gulfstream Aerospace aircraft was initially delivered to the Mexican Air Force (Fuerza Aérea Mexicana), where it served from 2015 until 2022. After a brief three-month tenure in the United States, it joined International Jet Management's fleet in April 2022.
International Jet Management specialises in private jet charters and aircraft management, currently overseeing a fleet of eleven Austrian-registered aircraft - one Citation Jet 2, one Citation Jet 4, one Citation Latitude, one Citation XLS, one Eclipse 500, one Falcon 7X, one Falcon 8X, one Falcon 900DX, one Global Express XRS, one GV, and one Praetor 600. Additionally, it operates one Challenger 350, which according to Austro Control is under the AOC of SPARFELL Luftfahrt (LDX, Vienna), as well as two German-registered aircraft, a Phenom 300 and a Pilatus Aircraft PC-24.
The Austrian division, International Jet Management GmbH, is part of IJM Holding, which manages other aircraft registered in the Isle of Man, San Marino, and the Cayman Islands, through International Jet Management Asia (Singapore) and International Jet Management (United Arab Emirates).
IJM Holding is wholly owned by SecuTrust GmbH, which also holds stakes in JET24 (Vienna) and Avcon Jet (AOJ, Vienna). Recently, Avcon Jet consolidated International Jet Management's Austrian AOC under a single regulatory framework, allowing for streamlined audits by the regulator. However, International Jet Management will maintain its status as a separate AOC entity.
