As I understand it, Bookajet is buying the Envoys and essentially wet-leasing them to its partner Club Airways. Bookajet's CEO Warren Seymour and Club's founder Hans Schwab announced the deal at EBACE in May. The initial order was then for seven firm, plus six options, subsequently increased to eight firm. The first two (one of which was displayed in the Business Aviation Park at Farnborough, then without the 16-seat executive interior specified by Bookajet/Club) are 'white tails' from Fairchild Dornier-built stock held by AvCraft, the remainder will be new-builds, with final deliveries scheduled for 2006. Club 328 will operate them on members-only FBO-to-FBO scheduled services, initially Geneva-Moscow/Vnukovo, with London-City as a future destination once the 328JET has been approved for the steep approach following trials flown last month.
