After experiencing turbulence due to the pandemic, aircraft fractional share provider FlexJet Europe has been off to a robust pace over the past year, building its fleet of super-midsize and large-cabin business jets. The unit of Cleveland, Ohio-based fractional share provider Flexjet and parent company Directional Aviation was hoping to take its first delivery of the Embraer Praetor 600 in first-quarter 2020 until the pandemic was unleashed, delaying Flexjet Europe’s ability to introduce the super-midsize twinjet to existing and potential shareowners.
