UK-based Marshall Executive Aviation has received an AOC extension which enables its Challenger 300 to operate to north and south America, Africa, the Middle East and Russia as well as the popular European destinations.

MEA now has a fleet of three aircraft, the others being a Citation XLS and a Bravo, that have three main bases at Stansted, Luton and Cambridge and operating capability from all London airports. Managing director Steve Jones says: "We're delighted the aircraft's AOC area has been extended as it means we can operate over a much larger area and offer our passengers MEA's excellent service virtually worldwide."
