ABjet Aliven

ABjet srl is an Italian private aviation company; this listing places it in Bussolengo, near Verona. The company's website gives 1983 as its founding year and states that Aliven is a registered trademark owned by ABjet srl.

ABjet describes itself as an intermediary rather than an airline or contracting carrier. It arranges private jet and helicopter charters, as well as cargo flights, with third-party operators. It can also book hotels, limousines, transfers and catering for its passengers.

The website does not list a fleet of its own. Aircraft are sourced to suit each trip and range from light jets to long-range jets, regional airliners, cargo aircraft and helicopters. Departures are offered from the airport nearest the client.

ABjet is a member of the European Business Aviation Association (EBAA) and The Air Charter Association. Aviation trade press reported in 2008 that Aliven was an Italian operator that had held its own air operator certificate since 1994 and was growing its managed and owned fleet of Citation and Hawker jets. Today's ABjet site presents the business as a broker, so the operator certificate and fleet should not be assumed to still be current.

When booking, flyers should ask which operator will fly the trip and check that carrier's certificate.
