Swiss PrivateAviation, the Swiss International Air Lines subsidiary that expanded its sales activities in March by taking over responsibility for Lufthansa Private Jet, announced here at the show yesterday that it is actively seeking to manage larger private aircraft, including the Airbus A380. It will do this by leveraging the resources of the wider Lufthansa Group in areas such as maintenance and training.

The Zurich-based company currently fields a fleet of 10 aircraft, seven of its own and three that it manages for third-party owners and offers for charter. According to CEO Peter Koch, the owned fleet consists of three Cessna Citation CJ1+ light jets, two CJ3s and two XLS+s, while the fledgling managed aircraft fleet consists of a CJ1+, one CJ3 and one Hawker 800.
