Asda Walmart
The first corporate aircraft operated by Asda after the Walmart takeover was a Rockwell Turbo Commander 690B. It was one of the US based aircraft that was moved to Leeds and flown by US based crew on a 6 month rotational basis. Eventually this was replaced by a King Air B200 flown by a locally based crew. The Turbo Commander was returned to the US and at that time the Asda flight department became fully self sufficient.
However within a couple of years Walmart sold off their Germany stores and the need for inter European travel diminished somewhat.The end came however with the appointment of a new Asda CEO. His first operational decision with regards to the flight department was to shut it down and sell the King Air.
