Regency Jet Retires King Air B200, Focuses on Enhanced Fleet
UK-based charter company Regency Jet has officially retired its King Air B200, a twin turboprop aircraft, marking a shift in its fleet composition. The Beechcraft, with registration G-DXTR (msn BB-1244), completed its final flight on June 29, 2024, from Gloucestershire to Guernsey under Regency Jet’s ‘LJC’ code. Following its retirement, the 38-year-old aircraft was de-registered in the UK on October 15, 2024, and re-registered in Guernsey as 2-ANJA. The aircraft has since been transferred to FSB Aviation Limited, an Isle of Man-based company with minority ownership in Jet Masterclass, a UK EASA Approved Training Organisation focused on pilot training.
Throughout its operational life, the King Air B200 has held registrations in the US, UK, France, Australia, and South Africa, showcasing a well-traveled history. Before its stint with Regency Jet, the aircraft was operated by Synergy Aviation, rebranded as Ascend Airways in October 2023.
Regency Jet now shifts its focus to a streamlined fleet that includes two sister King Air B300s, ideal for regional charters. Alongside its turboprop options, the company also operates three business jets: two Citation Bravo jets and a newly added Pilatus PC-24, expanding its offerings for business and luxury travel.
Regency Jet, under the umbrella of The Little Jet Company, operates under a UK Air Operator Certificate (AOC) and is dedicated to private jet charters, aircraft management, acquisitions, sales, and maintenance. Its Gloucestershire base also offers ground services and fixed-base operations (FBO), reinforcing its comprehensive aviation services. This retirement and refocus allow Regency Jet to strengthen its operational versatility and enhance its client experience in private aviation.
