Fleet[edit]

The airline was founded in 2009 by Chief Executive Officer and former airline pilot David Fletcher[5][6] and introduced to European operation the Embraer Phenom 100 and 300 business jets.[7]

Additionally, FlairJet specializes in the acceptance and delivery of Embraer business aircraft and has, up to April 2012, accepted 12 from the Brazilian manufacturer.[7] FlairJet is also the leading European provider of Phenom 100 and 300 in-aircraft training and mentoring solutions.[8][needs update]

Following an acquisition by Marshall Aerospace,[9] FlairJet was sold to Cleveland, Ohio, based Flexjet, in August 2016.[10]
