Shortstop Jet Charter retired the sole executive jet it operated, a Falcon 900C, as revealed by ch-aviation research.
VH-OAA (msn 188) was last active on November 8, 2024, completing a flight around Sydney Kingsford Smith, where it remains parked. The aircraft was re-registered in the United States as N914SS on December 16 and is now owned by Meregrass Air Charter. The 23.4-year-old Falcon 900C, configured to carry up to 14 passengers, had been operated by Shortstop Jet Charter since 2017.
Following this retirement, Shortstop Jet Charter is now the registered operator of an L-39C military jet trainer and a DC-3. The company provides private jet charter and aircraft management services, running a fixed-base operation (FBO) at Melbourne Essendon. Additionally, Shortstop Jet Charter offers a series of flight experiences with its DC-3, nicknamed the "Melbourne's Gooney Bird".
Meanwhile, Meregrass Air Charter has a Part 135 fleet comprising a Falcon 50EX, a Falcon 900(B), and three Saab 2000s. The company, which owns all the aircraft it operates, has not yet added the acquired Falcon 900C to the charter fleet.
