Jet Aviation Business Jets (PP, Zurich) has announced that it has secured an Air Operator’s Certificate (AOC) in Malta, adding to its other two AOCs in Switzerland and Germany.

The Swiss business aviation specialist said in a statement it has already transferred B737-700(BBJ) 9H-GGG (msn 40119), formerly with Maleth-Aero (DB, Malta International), to Jet Aviation (Malta)'s AOC with an Embraer Legacy 600 to follow in the coming weeks.

"Our new flight operation in Malta is a terrific complement to our Swiss and German operations,” said Jürg Reuthinger, senior vice president and general manager of Jet Aviation’s aircraft management and charter operations in EMEA and Asia. “The additional AOC in the European Union allows aircraft owners and operators more flexibility in their choice of registrations and operation."

A wholly-owned subsidiary of American aerospace and defense multinational corporation General Dynamics, Jet Aviation Business Jets also has a presence in the United States via Avjet (Burbank) and Jet Aviation Flight Services (JAS, Teterboro).
