What Arrow Aviation חץ תעופה does

Arrow Aviation (חץ תעופה) is an Israel-based private aviation operator founded in 2009 and headquartered in Rishon LeZion, providing chartered executive jet services, medical evacuations, specialized cargo transport, and government and defense aviation support. The company operates an owned fleet of multiple Hawker 800XP midsize jets (registrations CZH, CUZ, CZF, CNZ) and a Cessna Citation 560 light jet (CRZ), supplemented by an international broker and supplier network for sourcing additional aircraft types on demand. It holds an Air Operator Certificate from the Israeli Ministry of Transport under Civil Aviation Authority supervision, EASA certification, ICAO membership, and a rare hazardous materials transport authorization — credentials that distinguish it within the tightly regulated Israeli private aviation market.

The company serves four primary customer segments: enterprise and government clients including Israel Aerospace Industries, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, Elbit Systems, SolarEdge, the Office of the President of Israel, Chevron, and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem; medical evacuation clients including the Ministry of Health, Harel Insurance, Inbal Insurance, Passportcard, and international medical partners; high-net-worth individuals seeking leisure, kosher-certified, or VIP travel; and specialized cargo shippers requiring secure transport for sensitive materials, diamonds, defense-related equipment, and confidential documents. Revenue is generated on a transaction-fee basis with quotes issued within 24 hours, variable by aircraft type, route, and ancillary services. Ancillary offerings include empty-leg flights at up to 50% discount, VIP lounge access, ground transportation, kosher catering, satellite internet, pet transport, and an exclusive repeat-customer club.

The business is privately held, with founder and CEO Captain Zvika Ozer — a 40-year industry veteran with over 40,000 flight hours — and the Hason brothers (Mordechai and Shlomo) co-owning the company as a subsidiary of Hason Group (קבוצת חסון). Arrow Aviation employs approximately 23 core staff supported by dozens of additional contracted pilots, and operates 24/7 with a stated three-hour turnaround for urgent departures. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and relationship-based, relying on direct outreach, a 24/7 operations hotline, customer referrals, and the VIP client club rather than aggressive digital marketing. Distribution is fully direct with no resellers in the primary flow, and the company handles all journey logistics from booking through post-flight without intermediaries.

Broad incumbents

• NetJets: Largest global fractional jet ownership and charter operator (Berkshire Hathaway-owned) with thousands of aircraft. Competes for the same enterprise and ultra-HNW charter demand as Arrow but at vastly greater scale and with broader geographic reach.
• Jet Aviation: Global private aviation group (General Dynamics subsidiary) offering charter, management, MRO, and FBO services. Overlapping charter and aircraft management capabilities with Arrow, though far broader portfolio.

• Air Partner: Global charter broker and operator with deep experience in group charter, government, and medevac missions. Directly comparable in mission-based charter model and reliance on broker relationships for fleet scaling.
• PrivateFly (Directional Aviation): Global on-demand private jet charter broker and operator with strong European and Middle East presence. Competes for the same ad-hoc executive charter demand as Arrow, often on routes overlapping Israeli outbound travel.
• TAG Aviation: Swiss-headquartered global private aviation group offering charter, aircraft management, and FBO services. Comparable in offering on-demand business jet charter with similar fleet mix and customer base of enterprise and HNW flyers.
• Smart Aviation: Israeli-based private jet charter and management operator offering executive and group charter services out of Israel. Closest head-to-head competitor in the domestic private aviation market with overlapping customer segments and fleet class.
