UK air charter operator Zenith Aviation has ceased operations after entering administration on May 15. Paul Hargreaves of Nexus Corporate Solutions is acting as administrator and is seeking new owners for the company, which is based at London Biggin Hill Airport (EGKB).

In March 2025, Zenith was acquired by aircraft management and charter group Opul Jets, but that company—now trading as Thela Jets—ceased having control of the operation in December. Zenith operated a Bombardier Learjet 45 and a pair of Learjet 75s under its UK air operator certificate, but it does not own them.
