Presentation of the airline iXair

IXair is an airline founded in 2000. The airline’s current CEO is Nicolas Ziza. He took up his post in 2020. IXair is based at Paris Le Bourget airport. Le Bourget is Europe’s first and largest business airport. It is not a commercial airport, as only private and business aviation flights pass through it. iXair currently specialises in medium and long-haul flights. It also operates short-haul flights thanks to its diversified fleet. These flights are tailor-made and on demand. In business aviation, customers can choose from a variety of criteria, such as departure times.

Similarly, in private aviation, business jets have access to 10 times more airports than an airliner in commercial aviation. This is an advantage because you fly as close as possible to your final destination. Whether for business or pleasure.

What iXair does

IXair is a company that operates in the aviation industry. As well as transporting passengers, it is also active in other areas, which we will describe below.

IXair and business aviation

This French airline stands out for its business aviation and passenger transport services. The company guarantees safe business travel. The company holds the Certificat de Transport Aérien (CTA), which is essential for Public Passenger Transport (PPT) flights. And with its own fleet of private aircraft and crews, the company is able to guarantee regular maintenance of its jets, so you can be sure of air safety on every flight you take.

In business aviation, a very important point for all travellers is the discretion and confidentiality with which journeys are handled. The private plane is reserved entirely at your convenience. What’s more, using this mode of air transport gives you access to private airports and aerodromes. On the one hand, you have greater peace of mind when travelling, and on the other, the average time spent in the airport is just 10 minutes (unlike commercial aviation).

So you can enjoy a personalised, exclusive journey in complete safety and tranquillity.

IXair and its aircraft management business

This service offered by IXair is dedicated to anyone wishing to buy a private jet, operate or sell a business aircraft. The aeronautical company offers a complete support system. It advises you on aircraft models prior to your purchase, which may be used aircraft, and then assists you with the negotiation and contractual aspects.
