BAE 146-200 Jet To Join Its Fleet This Spring
Jota Aviation, the independently owned specialist UK air charter and management company, is preparing to mark its fourth birthday with the arrival of a British Aerospace 146-200 regional jet. The London Southend based charter company, expects to receive an A license imminently from the UK Civil Aviation Authority so that it can fulfill ad hoc charter, ACMI and lease assignments for corporate businesses and Europe’s regional airlines. It expects to be operational in May.
The aircraft is currently undergoing a significant interior refurbishment at Manston Kent International Airport by British company Av Man Engineering. The 146 will be configured with 95 seats and will have an option to turn the center seat of each triple seat row into a table. It also plans to offer a quick conversion to a fully dedicated business class with up to 54 seats to further widen the appeal.
As an added benefit, Jota Aviation’s BAe 146 aircraft will be London City Airport capable, making it more attractive for sub charters.
The aircraft will complement Jota Aviation’s established charter business which is focused on its fleet of four Beechcraft King Airs. Jota is the largest operator of the King Air 90 family in Europe, with aircraft deployed on cargo and passenger flights from London Southend, Liverpool and Leeds Bradford Airports.
