Already one of Europe’s most prominent private jet operators, DC Aviation (Booth No. 280) has set its sights still higher with plans to add four Airbus A319s over the next year and a pair of Citation XLSs to its present fleet of five next month, the company announced here this week during its first EBACE appearance. Now flying 28 jets, the former DaimlerChrysler Aviation will become Germany’s biggest A319CJ operator and command the largest fleet of Citation XLSs in Europe.

The company’s first owned A319CJ previously flew for the Daimler Corp. and will immediately go into service with DC Aviation. The airplane seats 48 passengers, and four auxiliary fuel tanks give it a range of 4,320 nm, allowing it to fly nonstop from London to Chicago or Munich to Bangalore.
