Comlux is granted low visibility operations approval for its Airbus fleet

Comlux The Aviation Group announced today its approval from the Maltese Authorities (EU-OPS) to operate its Airbus fleet in Low Visibility Operations down to Category 3A Automatic landing minima.
Thanks to this operational approval, Comlux has become one of the very first VIP charter operators able to offer the highest level of operational reliability to its VIP passengers.
Category 3A approval will allow the Comlux Airbus fleet to operate in conditions where the visibility at the destination airport is reduced to 200 meters instead of the normal required minimum visibility of 550 meters. This means that Comlux passengers flying on its Airbus aircraft travelling to airports such as London (all airports), Almaty, Geneva… and very soon Middle East airports such as Abu Dhabi will be able to land when the aircraft of most other VIP operators will be obliged to divert to an alternate airport.
This Category 3A approval is a precursor to a Comlux application for licence to operate to visibilities as low as 75 meters, the minimum permitted for any operator with current industry standards.
Comlux has recently taken delivery of its 2nd A318 Elite, extending its Airbus fleet to 3 aircraft available for charter: 2 A318 Elites and 1 ACJ. Comlux has 2 additional A318 Elite aircraft on order, as well as 1 A320 Prestige. This luxurious and modern fleet of Airbus aircraft is operated under the new EU-OPS Maltese AOC of Comlux acquired in September 2008.
Stephen Laven, CEO of Fly Comlux division says: “We are delighted to announce we are now able to operate our Airbus fleet to the stringent Category 3A standard. This feature, available as standard on all Airbus ACJ Family aircraft, is a great commercial and operational advantage versus other competitive jets. Naturally, as a major Airbus VIP charter operator, Comlux is taking the lead in the VIP charter market to always offer the highest levels of safety, comfort and reliability to its VIP clients”.
Comlux The Aviation Group is one of the leaders in VIP charter services operating worldwide with the highest standards of safety and quality. Beyond charter operations, Comlux offers a comprehensive set of services to VIP customers who wish to have their own aircraft managed personally and professionally. This includes exclusive aircraft management, sales and acquisitions, cabin design and outfitting services.
