Tyrolean Jet & Service (TJS, Innsbruck) has retired the sole Praetor 600 it operated, which has now joined the fleet of SPARFELL Luftfahrt (LDX, Vienna), the latter announced.

The 2025-built aircraft, OE-HBH (msn 55020223), is configured for up to nine passengers. Delivered brand-new to TJS in March, it remained active under the operator's 'TJS' code until late October. Since then, the jet completed a roundtrip between Innsbruck, where it is based, and Joensuu on November 28.

This phase-out follows the late-2024 retirement of a Citation Jet 1+ and two Citation Jet 2s after the acquisition of TJS by Gama Aviation (GMA, Farnborough). The Austrian operator further phased out a Falcon 900EX last year and a Global 5000 already in 2025.

TJS' executive jet fleet now comprises a Citation M2 Gen2 inducted in November, a Phenom 300 parked at Munich Augsburg since March 30, and two San Marino-registered aircraft, namely a Citation Jet 1 added in May and a Hawker 800XP inducted in September. The carrier also operates two E145s on behalf of inX.aero (Lugano). The first entered service in late October, while the second has yet to begin operations.

In November, TJS transferred a Citation XLS+ to the air operator's certificate (AOC) of TJS Malta, which previously included only a Falcon 7X. At the time, managing director Philip Schuster told ch-aviation that two aircraft were expected to join TJS's Austrian AOC by year-end. As part of the Travelcoup partnership, the operator will add a pre-owned E175, scheduled to enter service in the second quarter of 2026.

This Praetor 600 has joined another unit of the variant in SPARFELL's Austrian AOC. The jet has yet to enter service under the company's 'LDX' code.

Beyond the two Praetor 600s, SPARFELL operates an earlier version of the type, a Legacy 500, along with two Challenger 300s, two Challenger 350s (a third was retired in November), a Challenger 3500 added in June, a Global Express XRS, two Global 7500s, a Citation Jet 2+, a Falcon 7X, a G280, a GVII-G500 inducted in March, a G650(ER), and a G650ER.

An ACJ319-100 is undergoing refurbishment and maintenance at Basel/Mulhouse/Freiburg, CH ahead of entry into service.

SPARFELL Malta operates a GVII-G500, a Global 6500 manufactured in 2025 which replaced a 2020 unit, and a Global 7500, following the phase-out of a Global 6000 earlier this year. The group's newest AOC, SPARFELL Luxembourg, secured in September, currently comprises a factory-new GVII-G500.
