Geneva-based Global Jet (Booth V133) is enjoying EBACE 2019 in its hometown and took advantage of the show to announce additions and enhancements to its worldwide fleet: an Embraer Legacy 650 based in Nice, France; a Cessna Citation CJ2; and the refurbishment of its Dassault Falcon 2000S. The company manages more than 75 business jets internationally, from privately owned Airbus and Boeing widebody bizliners (VVIP Airbus A340-300ER and B787) to Bombardier, Dassault, Gulfstream, Cessna, Embraer, and Beechcraft jets.

Beyond aircraft management, Global Jet also handles aircraft sales. It has concluded several transactions recently, including two Gulfstream G550s; a Bombardier Global 5000, Global 6000, and Global Express; and single examples of the Dassault Falcon 7X and 2000LX. Additionally, the company has been supervising the outfitting of two VVIP Boeing 787s.

Following the establishment in 2017 of an office to offer the first aircraft management and brokerage service at Madrid Barajas airport, the company has upgraded its Paris Le Bourget office by moving to Signature Terminal 3. It also opened a charter flight department in Monaco, where it manages aircraft based on the French Riviera, including a Global 5000, a Falcon 900, an Embraer Legacy 650, and Citation CJ2.
