Aircraft management and charter group TAG Aviation is in the process of expanding its fleet with the addition of nine business jets. New arrivals for its Europe-based operation include a Dassault Falcon 6X, Bombardier Challenger 650 and Gulfstream G500. In Asia, the company has added a G550, as well as a Bombardier Global 6000 and four Global 7500s.
The Falcon 6X and three of the Global 7500s are new-production aircraft due to be delivered from the manufacturers in early 2025. TAG has already received one preowned Global 7500.
Operating from TAG’s UK base at the London-area Farnborough Airport, the 6X and the Challenger 650 will be available for charter customers in Europe. The G550 will be based in Hong Kong and available for charter flights soon.
“As we enter the final quarter of 2024 and look ahead to 2025, we are very excited to expand our fleet with these new additions and types, and offer our charter clients additional aircraft charter options,” said TAG Aviation’s president, Steven Young. “Our invaluable teams from operations, client services, charter, maintenance, and FBOs are dedicated on a 24/7 basis to deliver our personalized services to every aspect of our client’s travel journey.”
TAG Aviation was founded in 1966 and offers services that also include maintenance, crew training, and ground handling at its FBO in Macau. The group employs 500 staff and also has based in Geneva, Malta, Singapore, Bahrain and Beijing.
The company's worldwide fleet now includes 60 aircraft, all of which are managed on behalf of their owners. Earlier this year, TAG added a G650ER jet in Singapore, and then a Falcon 2000LXS, G450, and an Embraer Phenom 300E to its charter fleet in Europe and Asia. These arrivals were on top of 12 other aircraft joining the fleet in 2023.
