Flexjet had planned to announce a “significant expansion” in Europe two weeks ago at what would have been EBACE 2020, but the Covid-19 pandemic has caused the company to postpone the announcement until next spring, company CEO Mike Silvestro said last week during a Jefferies Equity Research webinar. The company’s European affiliate, which holds an air operator certificate via UK-based subsidiary Flairjet and holds a controlling interest in aircraft charter and management firm Sirio at Milan Linate Airport, currently has 15 aircraft—mostly Nextant 400XTis and a few Embraer Legacy 600s—in its fleet.
