Skyside adds a Gulfstream G550 into the mix

Vienna-headquartered operator Skyside says it is experiencing impressive growth, with an expanding fleet and ambitious plans for the future. The company currently operates a diverse lineup of aircraft, including a Gulfstream G550, a Global 6000 and two Falcon 2000 EX/LX, with additional aircraft set to join the fleet in the near future.

Skyside has a strong international presence with several key locations. With its main office in Vienna and a new office in Hamburg, Germany, for dispatch and sales, the company also supports its global operations with a hangar in Paphos, Cyprus.

The recent addition of the Gulfstream G550 marks the company’s longest-range aircraft now available for charter operations. Skyside manages a mix of owned and managed aircraft and is actively seeking to attract more aircraft owners to join its fleet.

“This summer has been both busy and successful for Skyside,” says marketing manager Jennifer Korcz. “The Falcon 2000 EX has gained popularity for shorter trips, and the Falcon 2000LX is set to undertake transatlantic flights, showcasing its long-range capabilities. In response to this growth, we are expanding the team to support the increased demand and ensure a smooth, efficient service.

“Our aircraft management clients also benefit from our in-house partners such as Columbia Sky Procurement. CSP enters into framework agreements with suppliers of various cost categories, covering most of its members’ procurement needs. With CSP as a partner we provide our clients with a directory of suppliers and they can choose which of these agreements they want to utilise. This will allow commitment in volumes and create an efficient procurement process.”

Another important partner of Skyside is Columbus Travel. The Columbus Travel team is ideally positioned to address customers’ travel requirements and offer flexibility and speed of service while securing the best available fares.

Korcz concludes: “As the company continues to grow, there is excitement about the opportunities ahead and a commitment to providing exceptional service while expanding its presence in the aviation industry.”
