Opul Jets Expands Charter Group with Wallcourt Acquisition

Charter operator Opul Jets has acquired aircraft management and sales group Wallcourt Aviation. From its headquarters at London Biggin Hill Airport, Wallcourt manages a fleet of 11 business aircraft, including three Bombardier Learjet 45s, a pair of Learjet 40s, and a Global Express, as well as a mix of Cessna Citation CJ1, CJ1+, CJ2, and CJ4 models.

These aircraft are operated in the charter market on behalf of Wallcourt by various third-party air operator certificate (AOC) holders, with the company—which was formed in February 2022—marketing the flights.

Announcing the acquisition late last week, UK-based Opul Jets said it will now integrate Wallcourt’s operation into its network, which includes bases at Biggin Hill, as well as Dubai Al Maktoum International Airport and the Manx Jet Centre at Ronaldsway Airport on the Isle of Man.

Opul Jets’ charter flights are conducted under AOCs held by its partners: Saxon Air Charter in the UK and Av8Jet Charter in Malta. The company’s fleet includes a Bombardier Global Express XRS and a Learjet 40, which is equipped with a Starlink connectivity system.
