PremiAir is expanding its fixed-wing activities, by establishing a new charter and management operation at London Biggin Hill Airport together with an additional maintenance facility. Its sister company von Essen Aviation last month purchased an undisclosed number of Bombardier Learjet 45s while PremiAir took over the lease on a hangar, workshop and office complex from Gold Group International and acquired specialist workshop equipment, tooling and aircraft spares previously owned by Air Partner Private Jets.

PremiAir expects to add more Learjet 45s and other larger fixed-wing aircraft to its fleet under management contracts beginning late this month. Its new Biggin Hill operation will employ 50 people, and includes an established EASA-approved Learjet maintenance facility.
