Luxaviation UK (LNX, Stapleford) has announced it has acquired a maiden Challenger 604 business jet which it intends to base out of Athens for ad-hoc charter leases.
The business aviation specialist said in a statement G-MOCL (msn 5620) would be available for ad-hoc charters from April 2017.
“There is high demand for business aviation in Southeast Europe but an inadequate supply of quality aircraft," George Galanopoulos, managing director, Luxaviation UK, said. "The owner purchased the aircraft to help counter that shortage. The Greek economy may continue to struggle, but the business aviation market remains prominent as wealthy individuals and visitors require transportation during the tourist season; the same applies to the neighboring Balkan countries. The Athens-based Challenger 604 is an excellent addition to our fleet, representing a great opportunity for us to reach out to more clients in the region."
In addition to the Challenger 604, Luxaviation UK's fleet also includes a Challenger 350, Falcon 2000EX/EASY/LXs, eight Embraer Legacy 600/650s, four Cessna 560 XL/XLSs, four Cessna 510s and more.
