Services
Aircraft Charter
Metrojet provides private jet charter services to fly business leaders and executives throughout Asia and beyond — a personal airline for clients for whom time is valuable and a productivity tool that can enhance efficiency by reducing multi-stop traveling days. Metrojet also provides block charters for clients who require frequent travel. The 24-hour professional multi-lingual operations team is standing by to process the flight requests and prepare all of the necessary permits, the in-flight catering preferences, and arrange for clients to embark and disembark anywhere in the most expeditious manner through VIP channels. Their China office in Beijing also helps to ensure speedy flight clearances and access to airports throughout China.
Aircraft Maintenance
In addition to being a full Gulfstream Authorized Warranty Repair Facility, Metrojet is also a full Bombardier Authorized Service Facility, and an authorized Service Center for both Embraer’s Legacy 600/650 and Lineage 1000 series. Metrojet also maintains Hawker 700/800/900 series, Hawker 4000 (LSC) and Hawker 987 (LSC),Cessna Citation series, and Boeing BBJ. Their highly qualified and experienced type rated avionics and airframe engineers also have ratings on other aircraft, including Dassault Falcon aircraft.
Metrojet’s highly trained, qualified and experienced engineers have Pratt & Whitney, Rolls-Royce, GE and Honeywell aircraft engines and APU type ratings. Metrojet is also recognized as a Pratt & Whitney Authorized Service Facility and Mobile Repair Team, and a Rolls-Royce Authorized Service Facility for BR710 series engine.
Aircraft Management
Metrojet assists the aircraft purchaser initially in connection with matters leading to and associated with aircraft registration, certification, inspection and delivery. With the experience of owning its own fleet of aircraft from various manufacturers over the years, Metrojet applies the same continuous cost conscious and safety discipline to managing client's aircraft.
Metrojet also acts as the turn-key flight department, providing flight operations, flight crew, aircraft maintenance, regulatory compliance, aviation accounting, insurance and administration as well as pre-delivery assistance. Furthermore, by placing the aircraft under Metrojet's Air Operator's Certificate and with its extensive VIP charter clientele, Metrojet can help defray the cost of aircraft ownership by chartering out the aircraft when it is not in use by the owner. The crews and engineers are highly experienced in flying and maintaining aircraft from the full spectrum of aircraft manufacturers.
