Elit’Avia Expands Fleet with Falcon 7X, Resumes Dassault Operations

Elit’Avia International has reintroduced Dassault operations with the addition of a Falcon 7X to its fleet, marking the company’s return to operating Dassault aircraft after a two-year hiatus.

The 16.8-year-old Falcon 7X, registered as 9H-HHD (msn 2), was previously operated by Switzerland’s Cat Aviation. It entered service under Elit’Avia International’s Maltese AOC on March 8, 2025, with a flight between Geneva and Malta International Airport. The company last operated a Falcon 7X between 2014 and 2023, alongside a Falcon 50EX from 2016 to 2021.

Elit’Avia International’s executive jet fleet now includes two Global 5000s, a Global 6000, a Global 7500, a Falcon 7X, a G450, a GVII-G500, a G550, and three G650s. One G650, 9H-SSK (msn 6195), previously operated by Emperor Aviation, remains stored in Hannover. The company also manages a Boeing 747-400(BDSF) for Dubai-based cargo operator Mesk Air.

Though headquartered in Slovenia, Elit’Avia operates under Maltese and Sammarinese AOCs. In 2023, it expanded into the U.S. by acquiring Pioneer Business Services, now operating as Elit’Avia Americas under a Part 135 certificate. Currently, neither Elit’Avia International SM nor Elit’Avia Americas operates Dassault aircraft beyond the Falcon 7X.

This move strengthens Elit’Avia’s presence in the European business aviation market, reinforcing its diverse fleet and international expansion.
