In July ExecuJet Aviation will open a new base for its charter and management clients at London City Airport. It is also preparing to establish a new UK sales and operations subsidiary in the nearby Canary Wharf financial center under the leadership of the firm’s newly appointed executive director for group sales, Andrew Hoy, who was formerly with Bombardier’s Skyjet block charter program.

The first aircraft to be operated from London City under the new British AOC of its ExecuJet (UK) subsidiary will be a Dassault Falcon 900 owned by the group’s majority shareholder, Dermot Desmond. According to Execu- Jet managing director Gerrit Basson, more managed aircraft are due to be added to the AOC before the end of this month. ExecuJet may subsequently establish satellite bases at other UK airports in response to demand for the new Simply Fly lease program. The new British division of ExecuJet will have 20 employees by the end of the month.
