Austria’s MJET to Launch Learjet 60 Charter Operations in April
Austria’s MJET is preparing to launch Learjet operations in April 2025 with the addition of its first Learjet 60 to the fleet. The aircraft, registered OE-GNL (msn 60-173), is 25.1 years old and was previously operated in South Africa as ZS-TEJ.
After nearly two years of limited activity, the jet resumed operations with a test flight from Johannesburg Lanseria in August 2024, followed by another test flight on February 12, 2025. It was then ferried to Vienna between February 17 and 18, with a technical stop in São Tomé.
MJET Chief Commercial Officer Antonia Gilbert confirmed to ch-aviation that the Learjet 60 will be managed by the company and offered for charter on a flexible-use basis. Swiss broker Simply Jet will handle charter bookings for the aircraft.
The Learjet 60 joins MJET’s diverse fleet, which includes a Challenger 650, Embraer Legacy 600, Gulfstream G200, G450, GVII-G500, and G650. MJET also manages an Airbus ACJ319-100, currently stored at Dubai World Central since May 2022.
MJET’s sister company, Alpi Jets, also holds an Austrian AOC and operates a growing business jet fleet that includes a Phenom 300E, Gulfstream G450, G550, GVII-G600, and a Pilatus PC-24.
With the Learjet 60 addition, MJET expands its midsize jet offerings, enhancing charter flexibility for short- and mid-range missions across Europe and beyond. The move aligns with growing demand for business aviation services in the region.
