AXIS Aviation (BQA, Zurich) has added its first Falcon 2000LXS, according to ch-aviation research. The Dassault Aviation jet joins a Falcon 2000S sister type in AXIS's Swiss-registered fleet.
The brand new aircraft, HB-JTM (msn 413), was registered on November 14, and completed its first flight the following day, between Geneva and Zurich.
AXIS Aviation's fleet now comprises five aircraft - one Challenger 601-3A, one Falcon 2000S, the newly added Falcon 2000LXS, one G650, and one Pilatus Aircraft PC-12. RVSM data from the Caribbean and South American Monitoring Agency (CARSAMMA) indicates that the operator also manages a Cayman Islands-registered Global 7500.
The group recently announced plans to expand its fleet, with the addition of a Global 5000, a Falcon 2000LX, and a Falcon 7X. These aircraft will be privately managed and incorporated to Axis Aviation San Marino, which, according to Eurocontrol RVSM data, already operates one recently inducted Global 5000, one Hawker 800XPi, and one Learjet 31A.
Meanwhile, the Austrian division, AXIS Aviation Austria (BQB), and the South African unit, Absolute Flight Services (TTN, Johannesburg Lanseria), do not operate any Dassault Aviation jets.
AXIS Aviation did not respond to ch-aviation's request for further details regarding its fleet expansion plans.
