Fractional ownership and aircraft management company, Jetfly, which is headquartered in Luxembourg and operates a 50-strong Pilatus fleet is now offering its UK members domestic flights on newly registered PC-12NG (G-OJFA) aircraft thanks to a new partnership with UK PC-12 business aviation operator Ravenair, which is based out of Liverpool John Lennon Airport.

“This convenient arrangement with Ravenair provides more flexibility for Jetfly members, who can now fly from the UK to the EU, intra UK and intra EU through the Luxembourg-headquartered Jetfly Group,” said Sales Director UK, Jonathan Clough.

To help meet increased demand for flights from destinations such as Fairoaks Airport to Jersey, Oxford to Cornwall and Goodwood Aerodrome to the Isle of Man, two more Jetfly PC-12s are expected to join Ravenair’s UK Air Operator’s Certificate (AOC) in due course.

Jetfly has four fully trained UK pilots already supporting G-OJFA and is training more in line with G-registry rules as demand escalates.

“The UK coming out of the EU and EASA at the beginning of the year presented us with some interesting licensing challenges and restrictions flying UK domestic routes,” noted Clough.

“Joining the British Business and General Aviation Association (BBGA) last summer helped us navigate relations with the UK CAA and we were able to successfully work through the UK AOC process with Ravenair. It’s important to engage with and be a part of the UK general aviation community,” he added.

Capable of using runways as short as 2,485 feet and able to operate from tarmac, dirt, gravel and grass surfaces the Pilatus PC-12 can access over 3,000 airports and small airfields in Europe, giving passengers a unique level of access for business and leisure trips. Jetfly members typically use the aircraft for golf, horse racing, yachting, skiing, shooting and classic car sports.
