Vulcan Aviation

Vulcan Aviation Limited is a business jet company based at the Business Aviation Centre at Farnborough Airport in Hampshire, United Kingdom. It works in buying, selling, managing, flying, operating and maintaining business jets. The site says the owners run the company themselves and bring many decades of global experience in business aviation.

The company describes its work as nose to tail services for business jets. Its range covers sales and acquisitions, aircraft management, operations, consulting, maintenance and financing. It also helps clients with research, technical evaluation, contracts, ownership structure and aircraft registration. The aim is to serve clients who are buying, operating or selling a jet.

The site names three directors, Roger Whyte, Barry Johnson and Trevor Esling, and an adviser, David Macdonald. Roger Whyte spent more than 35 years with Cessna, where he rose to head of worldwide sales and marketing. He holds an airline transport pilot licence with several Citation ratings. Barry Johnson is described as the long time chief executive who set up the company more than 30 years ago, after working in flight operations at British Petroleum.

According to the site, the company has put the first commercially certified BBJ-2 on its UK air operator certificate, along with the first Citation X and Falcon 50EX. The fleet under its operation is nine aircraft. They range from Gulfstream and Falcon jets to AW139 helicopters, and they fly for large UK companies, corporate clients and wealthy private owners.

The site also shows aircraft for sale. At the time of writing it features a Bombardier Global 5000, which it describes as a large jet with long range and competitive speed. A partner company, Executive Jet Charter, manages and operates Falcon 2000LX, Falcon 7X, Global Express, Gulfstream G650, Gulfstream G450 and Citation CJ4 aircraft for international companies and individuals. The website lists direct phone numbers for the directors.
