 The arrival of FlairJet's second Embraer Phenom 100, (G-DRBN) on Friday 6th November marked the first business aircraft to be imported direct andcleared via London Oxford Airport.
This is the first time that an aircraft has been imported into the EU via Oxford, following recent changes to the airport's UK border authority status. Southampton-based import and export specialists, Forest Aviation Services Ltd, were instrumental in the landmark clearance.
"Having this approval helps operators, sales companies and maintenance organisations residing at Oxford import from third party countries without the need to go via another Customs-Designated airport in the UK first," said Steve Jones, Managing Director.
FlairJet, the UK's newest private jet operator collected its second Phenom 100 from Embraer in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Stops were made at Richmond International Airport, Virginia; Quebec, Goose Bay; Narsarsuaq Airport in Greenland; Keflavik, Iceland; and Wick, Scotland, before its final destination - London Oxford Airport. The aircraft, flown by Captain Graham Rose and First Officer Danielle Stoney, joins S-DRBN, which arrived into the UK on 29 October.
