  • A UK Air Operator Certificate from the Civil Aviation Authority, held with an Operating Licence, is the approval a company needs to sell flights on its aircraft in the UK. The CAA approves the company's management, pilots, training, maintenance and aircraft, and keeps auditing it. Flights sold on aircraft outside an AOC, sometimes called grey charter, are illegal. Altivo Jets books flights only with licensed operators and names the operator on every quote. How we check operators.

Company

About Luxaviation United Kingdom

Luxaviation United Kingdom began in 1996 as London Executive Aviation, with a single piston aircraft at Stapleford Aerodrome in Essex. It was the first executive charter company to hold a European JAA air operator certificate, the first UK operator of the Citation Excel and the first in Europe to put the Citation Mustang into charter service. It joined the Luxaviation Group in 2014, took its current name in 2016 and marked 30 years in business in 2026.

Its fleet is built around business jets: Citation Mustang and Excel jets, Embraer Legacy 600 and 650 and Praetor 600 jets, Challenger 604s and long range Global 6000 and Gulfstream G550 jets, several added in 2024 and 2026. The aircraft are based around London at Luton, Farnborough, Stansted and Biggin Hill, and the company also manages aircraft for owners, advises on completions and arranges concierge services.

Luxaviation UK has been a Wyvern member since 1998, holds Wyvern Wingman certification and BBGA accreditation, and has been named best general aviation operator by the Baltic Air Charter Association six times.
