International Jet Management (IJM) has added a further Citation XLS to its managed fleet. The aircraft is registered in Austria and will be based at the company's Vienna headquarters.

“We are very happy about this latest addition to our fleet. IJM continues its sophisticated expansion strategy and everybody here is focused on its success,” says md Robert Schmoelzer.

“Aircraft management is our core business and we have gained a lot of experience and know-how during the last 10 years. We believe in trust and sustainable business relations and our valuable business partners appreciate these virtues. I believe this is the key to our success, along with the commitment of our employees.”

The aircraft is available for charter flights and will be promoted through IJM's partner AC Aviation Charter of Zurich, Switzerland. The XLS will increase the total charter fleet of AC Aviation Charter to 17 aircraft based across in Europe and Russia.

IJM sales director Bernhard Wipfler says: “It is great to have this aircraft in our fleet. The Citation XLS is a very popular aircraft and is a perfect addition. This is the second XLS for IJM and we have seen a lot of demand for this aircraft type on the charter market.

“It was just a few weeks ago that we introduced a Challenger 604. We are convinced this latest Citation XLS is not the last aircraft which we will welcome to our family as the brand and our services become increasingly popular in different geographical regions.”

Founded in 2003, IJM has a diverse fleet which includes the Learjet, Challenger, Global Express, Citation, Hawker, Falcon and Gulfstream.
