U.S. fractional ownership and charter provider Flexjet announced here in Geneva on Sunday night that it will start flying within Europe in the third or fourth quarter of this year, using a fleet of eight Nextant 400XTi light jets. To allow it to provide point-to-point service in the region, the company has signed a letter of intent to acquire a yet-unnamed Europe-based company with an existing air operating certificate (AOC). This acquisition is expected to close in the second half of this year, after which it will start its European service.
