AirX increases its workforce by 76%

The successful Malta-based executive air charter company AirX has increased its workforce by 76% throughout 2015.

Further significant hiring is expected in 2016 as the company continues to add more jets to its fleet. New staff members range from back office personnel to flight crew, safety officers, maintenance and logistics personnel. AirX maintains an open door policy for potential candidates who would wish to submit their CVs for consideration.

The total employee headcount currently stands at 158 full time personnel, including 24 Maltese staff who have joined the Company in various technical, back office and cabin roles.

2016 is expected to mark a watershed moment for the Company as it plans to introduce larger and longer-range aircraft to its fleet. To date, Air X operates 3 Boeing 737 aircraft, 3 Legacy 600, 4 Challenger 850, and 2 Cessna Citation X. 75% of the Company’s fleet is registered on the Maltese aviation register. 

“We are determined to see AirX grow within Malta’s well-regulated aviation ecosystem. The Company is experiencing rapid growth and has become the private air charter operator of choice for the broker community.

"We operate a very efficient cost model without cutting corners in quality of service, luxury or comfort aboard the aircraft and throughout the entire journey - from pick-up to drop-off. Our growth supports Malta on the way to becoming a recognised global player in aviation. Aircraft registration creates exciting employment opportunities for Maltese aviation professionals” said John B. Matthews, Chairman of AirX.

AirX provides luxury private charter flights across Europe to clients including A-list celebrities, such as Hollywood movie stars, pop artists, members of royal families, top corporate executives, sport teams and government ministers. The company obtained its Air Operator’s Certificate (AOC) from the Civil Aviation Directorate and Transport Malta in May 2013.

The Company’s head office is based at the Cottonera Waterfront in Birgu.
