Global aviation company, Avolus, is reporting encouraging trends from their European clients, particularly in the UK market, as the ratio of clients chartering mid-size and heavy jets as opposed to light jets and VLJs has significantly increased and charter requests in general are up 25% year on year.

At the half year 2010, Avolus client analysis indicated almost 40% of new clients are requesting mid-size and heavy jets as opposed to small cabin aircraft. The company has found themselves a niche in the market providing highly competitive ad hoc charter to those clients formerly flying on fractional and block hours programmes, and previous aircraft owners looking for more economical ways to fly privately.

Justine Angelli, Avolus Group President said, "We're finding more and more of our customers coming to Avolus looking for a high quality service without the long-term commitment required by card programmes and fractions. We specialise in providing a world-class service with some of the most competitive pricing on the market giving us the edge to attract this new pool of ad hoc charter clients moving away from ownership."
