Luxaviation Group expanded its aircraft management business in Asia-Pacific in 2025, bringing its total managed fleet in the region to 18 aircraft, and says it expects growth to continue through 2026.
Two Dassault Falcon 7X airplanes were added to the group’s portfolio in the region during 2025, as well as a Bombardier Challenger 604, and one Falcon 7X in Australia. All newly added aircraft operate commercially under Luxaviation Group air operator certificates, including those in Australia, San Marino, and Malta, and are available for charter across the region.
According to the company, the fleet expansion added charter capacity in the Asia-Pacific market, particularly for long-range operations, where demand continues to exceed supply during peak travel periods. Luxaviation said the additional aircraft also support the continued development of its regional charter network and improve connectivity across Asia and Australia.
“The strong growth achieved in 2025 lays the foundation for an ambitious 2026 in the Asia-Pacific region,” said Patrick Hansen, CEO of Luxaviation Group.
Looking ahead, Luxaviation expects to add three new long-range aircraft in the Asia-Pacific region during the first half of 2026. The company said the incoming airplanes will further support private and group charters, long-range missions, and cargo operations. Luxaviation also cited planned sustainability initiatives, including the availability of sustainable aviation fuel at key locations, aligned with its broader sustainability roadmap.
