Global Crossing Airlines Group, Inc. (Cboe: JET, OTCQB: JETMF), a Miami-based charter operator, announced fleet expansion milestones on March 31, 2026. The first leased Airbus A319, registered N316NV with manufacturer serial number 2481, has entered revenue service after addition to the company’s Air Operator’s Certificate. This aircraft, part of a four-unit lease agreement with funds managed by AE Industrial Partners, LP, supports growing charter and ACMI demands.
Two additional A319s, N318NV (MSN 2492) and N319NV (MSN 2503), were delivered from the same lease portfolio. Both are undergoing conformity preparations and are slated for revenue operations in Q2 2026. The company also received its first owned Airbus A320 (MSN 2840), advancing a hybrid ownership model that combines leasing with direct asset control to optimize maintenance and capacity.
These additions align with GlobalX’s 2026 expansion plan, initially outlined in 2025 with leases for four A319s (MSNs 2477, 2481, 2492, 2503) and the A320 acquisition from Falcon 2019-1 Aerospace Limited, financed by Volofin Capital Management. Deliveries began in late 2025, targeting a fleet increase of over 20% to 22 Airbus narrowbodies post-FAA and DOT approvals. Three recently delivered aircraft remain sidelined for conformity or maintenance, with Q2 certification critical for revenue impact.
The moves position GlobalX to handle rising passenger service needs amid charter market growth.
