Luxaviation Group’s ExecuJet South Africa has expanded its fleet with the addition of a Bombardier Global Express. The business jet will be based at Lanseria International Airport, near Johannesburg.

 


With a capacity for 13 passengers and a 4,800-nm range, “we know the large cabin comfort and range will be highly attractive to charter customers across Africa,” said Luxaviation Africa v-p Gavin Kiggen. “Like all Bombardier business jets, the Global Express is an exceptional aircraft.”

 


ExecuJet South Africa also noted that Litson &amp; Associates elevated the operator’s Silver Aviation Safety Award received last year to Gold. “This new Gold award recognizes our high aviation safety standards over a number of years and reflects the results of L&amp;A reviews,” Kiggen added. “We are very proud of our long-term safety record and delighted to receive further industry recognition of our very high standards with this award.”
