Amelia Executive has secured an Austrian air operator's certificate (AOC) and operating licence (OL) from Austro Control on July 28, following the addition of 19.6-year-old Learjet 45 OE-GRD (msn 45-287), accountable manager Thomas Dannoville confirmed to ch-aviation. The jet, based at St. Denis de la Réunion and used for medical evacuations and executive charters, was previously registered in France as F-HACP and operated under the Slovenian AOC of Amelia International. Amelia Executive launched commercial operations on June 8 as a virtual carrier with a 60-seat, VIP-configured, 21-year-old A319-100 F-HDRA (msn 2279), operated by Amelia International. "We plan to transfer the VIP Airbus to Amelia Executive's AOC in the autumn," Dannoville said.
