AVIATION firm PhilJets has expanded its fleet of aircraft as it foresees increased business from its various operations.
In a statement on Wednesday, the aviation start-up announced it has recently placed a new order for two additional H130 this September from Airbus Helicopters Southeast Asia, the subsidiary of Airbus Group.
PhilJets Aero Charter Corp., the group’s air-transport subsidiary, will operate these two helicopters in order to sustain the company’s activity growth.
With these new acquisitions, PhilJets Group is strengthening its fleet size to reach seven helicopters with six under its AOC—the Air Operator Certificate.
PhilJets’s operations consist of charter services, engineering and fleet management, aircraft sales and consultation, spare-parts sales, and representation of foreign firms. Demand for its chartering services, which are divided into tourism and leisure services, VIP transport and aerial work, comes from the sectors of mining, energy, materials industry, hotels and construction.
