Luxaviation Group is heading into the Avalon 2023 Australian International Airshow this week with strong activity throughout the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, the Europe-based international operator reported. The airshow runs from February 28 to March 5 at Avalon Airport in Victoria.
Its&nbsp;fleet in APAC has continued to expand in recent months, said Darren McGoldrick, v-p of the APAC region for Luxaviation Group. He noted that&nbsp;the company recently added a Dassault Falcon 2000LX to its Australian charter fleet, as well as a pair of Bombardier Global 6000s, one of which will be available for charter.
“Across Asia, our managed fleet is also expanding,” he added. In Malaysia, Luxaviation added a Dassault Falcon 7X and is in the process of adding an 8X. In Singapore, a Hawker Beechcraft 900XP and a Global 6000 have joined the fleet in the last two months. McGoldrick added that Luxaviation has more deliveries in the pipeline for the region.
This growth comes as Luxaviation Group bounces back from the pandemic with record charter hours and FBO movements in the APAC region in 2022.
“The most pleasing aspect of the recovery has been the number of first-time passengers we have welcomed to fly in our aircraft, many of whom rapidly became repeat customers,” McGoldrick said. “Clients are increasingly moving away from airlines as they clearly see the benefits of business aviation, from the time savings and privacy to the security and flexibility of travel.”
Luxaviation Group CEO&nbsp;Patrick Hansen added, “After a successful 2022, Luxaviation Group is optimistic about the year ahead. We look forward to welcoming returning business and making the most of new opportunities, particularly as post-pandemic industry recovery accelerates across the region.”
