Starlink Aviation (TLK, Montréal Trudeau) expanded its fleet with the addition of a first Falcon 6X, the first unit of the type registered in Canada, and the first Phenom 300E, resuming Embraer Executive Jets operations following a six-year hiatus, ch-aviation research has revealed.
The Falcon 6X, C-GOPB (msn 8), was delivered directly from the completion facility of Dassault Aviation at Little Rock to Montréal Trudeau on December 13, 2024, still under the test registration F-WZOP. Four days later, it was reregistered in Canada and was first active on December 20 on a flight to Cancún.
Meanwhile, the Phenom 300E, C-FDBJ (msn 50500824), was registered in Canada on November 5 and delivered from Embraer's facility at Melbourne Tullamarine to Montréal Trudeau on November 12. It was then active on November 27, completing a roundtrip to Hamilton, ON. The addition of the Phenom 300E marks the resumption of Embraer operations at Starlink Aviation, which operated four Phenom 100s between 2012 and 2015, as well as a single Phenom 100E between 2015 and 2018.
The two brand-new jets join 17 other aircraft operated by Starlink Aviation, including a Challenger 300, a Challenger 3500, a Challenger 604, a Falcon 2000LX, a Falcon 2000LXS, a Global 6000, a Global Express, a Hawker 850XP, a Learjet 40XR, two Learjet 45(XR)s, a Learjet 75, two PC-12s, two PC-24s, and a King Air B300.
Of the listed types, the Challenger 3500, the Global aircraft, the PC-12, the Dassault jets (including the newly added Falcon 6X), and the Phenom 300E are exclusively certified under CAR 604 (private operations only).
Starlink Aviation offers private jet charters, aircraft management, and maintenance services. Additionally, it provides air ambulance operations with specially configured Learjet 45(XR)s and runs a fixed-base operation (FBO) at Montréal Trudeau. The company has recently made an offer to acquire the assets of Chrono Group, including Chrono Aviation and Chrono Jet.
