Jet Linx Resumes Hawker 800XPi, Retires Learjet and Falcon Jets
Jet Linx Aviation, based in Omaha, has updated its fleet, reintroducing the Hawker 800XPi while retiring its Learjet 60SE and Falcon 900EX models. This strategic move, effective October 2024, aligns with the company’s ongoing efforts to streamline its Part 135-certified operations.
The Hawker 800XPi, tail number N486VC, made its comeback to the Jet Linx fleet on November 3, 2024. The aircraft, aged 20.4 years, flew its inaugural charter under Jet Linx’s code ‘JTL’ between Nashville International and West Palm Beach International. The reintroduction of this model follows an eight-month break, after which the company has added it back to its fleet of business jets. Jet Linx previously operated five units of the Hawker 800XPi from 2015 until March 2024 and is now focused on offering its superior services once more with this proven aircraft. This specific unit was originally certified under Executive Aviation Services but is now under Jet Linx’s management.
Meanwhile, Jet Linx has retired its last Falcon 900EX, with tail number N999FG completing its final flight under the ‘JTL’ code on September 16, 2024. This 25.7-year-old aircraft, the last of three Falcon 900EX jets operated by Jet Linx since 2020, traveled from Chattanooga Lovell to Miami Opa-Locka and then to Boise. The aircraft had an extensive service history, operating in both Mexico and Canada before joining Jet Linx in late 2022. With its retirement, Jet Linx no longer lists the Falcon 900EX for charter operations in the U.S.
The Learjet 60SE, N61WF, also saw its retirement after completing its last flight from Orlando Sanford to Boca Raton on September 14, 2024. This aircraft, aged 17.7 years, had been part of the Jet Linx fleet since March 2022, marking the end of the Learjet 60SE model’s time with the company. Before joining Jet Linx, the aircraft had a diverse service history, including time in the UK and Isle of Man, before returning to the U.S. in 2014.
Jet Linx Aviation now operates a fleet of 102 aircraft under its Part 135 certificate, offering a wide range of models to cater to various charter needs. Alongside the reintroduced Hawker 800XPi, the fleet includes several other Hawker models, such as the Beechjet 400A, 400XT, 400XP, and 850XP, along with Falcon 2000EX EASy, Falcon 7X, and Falcon 900. The Learjet series includes multiple models, including the Learjet 45 and Learjet 75, ensuring that Jet Linx can meet the diverse needs of its clients. The company also manages jets from top manufacturers like Bombardier, Embraer, Gulfstream, and Textron.
Specializing in aircraft management and charter services, Jet Linx provides tailored solutions, including private jet memberships and fleet-sharing options, to meet the needs of its discerning clients.
