Introducing the airline iXair

IXair is an airline founded in 2000. The airline’s current CEO is Nicolas Ziza. He took office in 2020. IXair is based at Paris Le Bourget airport. This is Europe’ s first and largest business airport. It is not a commercial airport, as only private and business aviation flights pass through it. Today, iXair specializes in medium- and long-haul flights. It also operates short-haul flights, thanks to iXair’s diversified fleet. These flights are tailor-made and on-demand. In business aviation, customers can choose from a range 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 get as close as possible to your final destination. Whether for business or pleasure.

What iXair does

IXair is a company that operates in the aeronautical industry, and as well as transporting passengers, it is also active in other fields, which we’d like to introduce to you.

IXair and business aviation

This French airline stands out for its business aviation and passenger transport services. The company guarantees safe business travel. It holds the Certificat de Transport Aérien (CTA) required for public passenger transport (TP) flights. Likewise, with its own fleet of private aircraft and crews, the company is able to guarantee regular maintenance of its jets, ensuring air safety on all your flights.

In business aviation, discretion and confidentiality are of paramount importance to all travelers. 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 airfields. On the one hand, this gives you greater peace of mind, and on the other, the average time spent in the airport is just 10 minutes (unlike commercial aviation).

So you can enjoy a personalized, exclusive trip, in complete safety and peace of mind.

IXair and its aircraft management business

IXair’s aircraft management service is designed for anyone wishing to buy a private jet, or 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 pre-owned, and then assists you with the negotiation and contractual aspects. It also organizes the management of your purchase, including fleet management and maintenance of the business jet, as well as parking for your private jet.

In addition, iXair manages the ownership of your aircraft, both on a global basis and in the form of shared ownership. Finally, this management is carried out both with and without commercial operation of the aircraft.

It should be added that the airline has created an application that enables you to see all the day-to-day monitoring of your aircraft. Whether in terms of maintenance, overhaul or even operation during business flights. It also provides important documentation and regulations to follow.
