Jetalliance Flugbetriebs GesmbH functioned as a business jet charter company headquartered in Oberwaltersdorf, close to Vienna, Austria. Established in 1996, it managed a broad fleet of business aircraft mainly operating from its primary hub at Vienna International Airport.
History
Jetalliance held certifications under JAR OPS 1 for European operations and FAA Part 129 for flights to the US and Canada. The company expanded its aircraft lineup through strategic purchases, including the addition of a Dassault Falcon 2000 in December 2005. By 2006, it had placed orders for an Airbus A319 Corporate Jet along with two Airbus A318 Elite models, each outfitted with 14-seat configurations. Furthermore, January 2006 saw the company committing to acquire 28 jets from the Cessna Citation family, demonstrating an assertive expansion plan within the business aviation sector.
Despite this growth trajectory, Jetalliance declared bankruptcy in November 2012, carrying debts estimated at approximately €28.9 million. The firm was formally dissolved by October 2013.
