Charter broker IsraJets has announced the launch of IsraFly, an in-house air operator established following the acquisition of a Hawker 800XPi and an FAA Part 135 certificate, as reported by Corporate Jet Investor. The company told ch-aviation the move is part of a long-term strategy to build a vertically integrated aviation platform with direct control over safety, compliance, and service.

“While brokerage provides flexibility, operating under our own certificate allows us to directly oversee safety, compliance, and service execution,” an IsraFly spokesperson said.

In order to begin in-house operations, IsraFly acquired Part 135 certificate #DRUA307D held by Crow Executive Air (CWX, Toledo Metcalf), citing the operator's established infrastructure and ability to support an efficient certification process as key factors. “This relationship enabled us to establish our operating platform while continuing to build internal systems and standards,” the spokesperson added.

Crow Executive Air's certificate currently covers a 2006-built Hawker 800XPi, N870TX (msn 258763). Acquired in late 2025, the aircraft is configured for up to nine passengers and based in South Florida, primarily at Fort Lauderdale International. This jet was previously operated privately out of Miami Opa-Locka.

“This specific aircraft was selected based on a combination of factors, including maintenance history, overall condition, and ability to meet operational standards,” the spokesperson said.

According to a private jet investment plan developed by IsraJets, the type was selected for low spare-parts replacement costs, cabin capacity, and range, ahead of the Learjet 60, another option under consideration at the time. “The Hawker Beechcraft aircraft ultimately aligned more closely with our operational and client experience priorities at this stage,” the spokesperson added.

IsraFly will focus on servicing existing IsraJets customers while remaining open to new clients. “Initial operations will cover North America, the Caribbean, and select high-demand routes, with flexibility to support global missions through our brokerage network,” the spokesperson explained.

Looking ahead, IsraFly's fleet expansion will proceed cautiously, with long-term stability as the priority. On aircraft management, the spokesperson said the model will be a “natural expansion, initially focused on North America and adjacent international markets”.
