Hyperion Aviation Retires Falcon 900LX and Global 7500 Jets

Hyperion Aviation (HYP), based at Malta International Airport, has officially retired its sole Dassault Falcon 900LX and the last of its Bombardier Global 7500 jets, marking a shift in its fleet composition. This recent move is part of an ongoing fleet adjustment, as confirmed by ch-aviation research. The Falcon 900LX, now re-registered under AllianceJet (ALE), has become the first of its type for the company, reflecting a notable transfer in Malta’s private aviation sector.

The 11.3-year-old Falcon 900LX, identified as 9H-DCD (msn 270), last operated under Hyperion’s ‘HYP’ code on September 24, 2024, flying from Dubai World Central to Sofia and then on to Istanbul Atatürk. It recently completed a reverse journey from Istanbul back to Dubai, this time under AllianceJet’s ‘ALE’ code while retaining its 9H-DCD registration. Initially registered in the Isle of Man, this jet has a varied operational history, including stints in France and San Marino, before joining Hyperion, first as 9H-FLX and later re-registered to 9H-DCD. Configured to seat up to 14 passengers during its tenure with Hyperion, the aircraft aligns well with AllianceJet’s fleet strategy, providing an ideal solution for high-capacity private charters.

In addition to retiring the Falcon 900LX, Hyperion has also removed its final Global 7500 jet from its fleet. This aircraft, 9H-FMA (msn 70172), was one of two Global 7500s originally operated by Hyperion. The first of these was retired in July 2024, while the remaining jet was delivered from Bombardier’s facility in Montréal to Malta International on April 23, 2024. Despite being parked and fully prepared for operation, the Global 7500 did not enter active service. Hyperion sold the jet to a broker operator, transferring it to the UAE registry under an Export Certificate of Airworthiness.

With the departure of these two aircraft, Hyperion’s current fleet comprises 14 jets, including one Challenger 605, one Challenger 850, one Citation Bravo, one Citation Jet 3, one Citation VI, one Citation VII, one Falcon 8X, three Global 5000s, three Global 6000s, and a Learjet 45. The company remains a prominent player in private jet charter services, providing aircraft management, acquisition and sales support, as well as consulting services. Hyperion’s air ambulance services further add to its diverse offerings, maintaining its relevance in the competitive private aviation market.

AllianceJet, which acquired the Falcon 900LX, operates a fleet of six aircraft, now including one Challenger 605, one Falcon 900LX, one Global 6000, and three Pilatus PC-12s. The company offers private jet and air cargo charters and has steadily expanded its capabilities to meet the demand for high-end private and corporate aviation solutions.

These strategic adjustments for both Hyperion and AllianceJet demonstrate the evolving landscape of private aviation in Malta, highlighting shifts in fleet compositions to better meet market demands.
