Jetcraft Expands into Defense and Governmental Aircraft Acquisition

Jetcraft, a business aircraft sales and acquisition firm, has launched a new division focused on special missions aircraft. The division will source and prepare pre-owned aircraft for defense and governmental operators. Stéphane Leroy, formerly of Thales and Bombardier, has joined as CEO. The move is seen as a natural evolution of Jetcraft’s business and reflects a growing demand for special missions aircraft. This is the first time Jetcraft has ventured into this market, and the company is well-positioned to capitalize on its expertise and global reach. The division will be headquartered in the UAE and will draw on Jetcraft’s 60 years of experience in aircraft sales. The company has already delivered its third aircraft to Asman Airlines, and the new division is expected to offer pre-owned solutions to clients. The creation of Jetcraft Special Missions is an important step in expanding Jetcraft’s services and delivering excellence across every market it serves. This is according to Jahid Fazal-Karim, the Jetcraft owner, who stated that Stéphane Leroy’s technical expertise and commercial insight make him the ideal leader for the new venture.
