What alliance jet does

AllianceJet is a boutique private aviation operator providing on-demand jet charter, aircraft management, flight support (FBO/ground handling), and cargo/logistics services. The company operates under Alliance Executive Jets Ltd., a Maltese entity holding EASA Air Operator Certificate MT-11, with headquarters in Gzira, Malta, and is part of Alliance Aviation Group, an Irish-founded (2008) holding entity. The owned/managed fleet comprises four airframes: a Bombardier Global 6000 (acquired September 2020, ~2,000 logged charter hours, redesigned and unveiled at EBACE 2024), two Bombardier Challenger 605s (the second added in 2022 as the fourth aircraft within three years), a Boeing 737-800, and PC12 aircraft integrated through the Hans Jet affiliation in October 2023.

Revenue is generated across four streams: on-demand private jet charter sales (a recurring-style book of work for high-net-worth individuals, corporate clients, and government/military customers); aircraft management for third-party owners (capped at 15 aircraft on the AOC to preserve service quality); professional services including FBO ground handling, fuel, customs clearance, US pre-clearance (unique outside the Americas at Shannon) and trip support at Dublin, Shannon, and Riyadh; and cargo/logistics via a global network of over 2,000 partners. Commercial offices span Dubai, Geneva, Miami, and Brussels, with operational hubs in Dublin, Shannon, Riyadh, and Malta. The company has no external institutional funding, no public listing, and is controlled by Chairman Hans Cauchi and CEO Hervé Laitat.
