AllianceJet (Malta) (ALE, Malta International) has added a first Falcon 7X, ch-aviation research reveals.

The 17.1-year-old aircraft, 9H-HHD (msn 2), is configured for up to 13 passengers and was first active under AllianceJet's 'ALE' code on June 22, flying between Geneva and Dubai World Central.

It joins a Falcon 900LX, a Global 6000, four PC-12s, and a Pilatus PC-24, which was inducted in April, in AllianceJet's fleet.

The Falcon 7X was previously the sole unit of the type in the fleet of Elit'Avia International (MA, Malta International), which marked a resumption of operations with Dassault Aviation aircraft in March after a two-year hiatus. The trijet flew only three times under Elit'Avia's 'EAU' code.

Following this phase-out, Elit'Avia International's fleet now includes two Global 5000s, a Global 6000, a Global 6500 added in June, a Global 7500, a G450, a GVII-G500, a G550, three G650s, a B737-900(BBJ) managed on behalf of Congo Presidential Flight (Kinshasa N'Dolo) as that country's presidential aircraft, and a B747-400(BDSF) operated for Dubai-based cargo customer Mesk Air.

The Elit'Avia group, which also includes Elit'Avia International SM (EAA, Rimini), no longer operates Dassault aircraft following this retirement.
