ASL airtaxi (BNJ, Liège) and ASL Airlines Belgium (3V, Liège) have entered into a strategic partnership wherein the former provides the latter with flight support services using an ASL Group private jet based out of Liège, Belgium.

The statement said the jet, which belongs to ASL Private Jet Services, will be used as a back-up solution for the urgent carriage of ASL Airlines' personnel or aircraft spare parts to points around its European network.

Though they share a common name, ASL Private Jet Services and ASL Airlines are two completely independent and separate companies.

ASL Private Jet Services is a business jet operator with several bases in Belgium and the Netherlands with a fleet of more than 35 business jets while for its part, ASL Airlines Belgium (a subsidiary of ASL Aviation Group) is a cargo airline based out of Liège and operates a worldwide network, on behalf of FedEx Express and TNT, among others clients.

The two companies are already exploring other business opportunities and forms of collaboration as ASL Private Jet Services intends to develop its business jet activities at Liège airport.
