FLYINGGROUP

FlyingGroup is a business aviation company headquartered at Antwerp Airport (Deurne) in Belgium. A 2021 profile by aircraft manufacturer Pilatus says the company was founded in the mid-1990s and that its main markets are the Benelux countries and France.

Its website lists aircraft charter, aircraft management, maintenance, ground handling, hangar rental and a shared ownership offer, as well as a product called Flyingcard. Antwerp and Kortrijk-Wevelgem appear among the departure airports in its empty-leg listings.

The charter fleet shown on the website covers Cessna Citation, Pilatus PC-24, Embraer Legacy/Praetor, Dassault Falcon 900, Falcon 2000 and Falcon 7X, and Bombardier Global types. The website says the company plans to add up to five aircraft by the end of 2026. The Pilatus profile, dated November 2021, put the fleet at 42 aircraft, mostly larger business jets, with 223 staff including more than 100 pilots; current numbers may differ.

According to the same profile, FlyingGroup took its first PC-24 in 2019 and has agents at eight European airports and an office in Dubai. Because the fleet includes many managed, owner-operated aircraft, flyers can ask which specific aircraft and crew are assigned to a trip.
