What the New VistaJet x Saxon Air Partnership Means for Regional Aviation
Private aviation in the UK is continuing to evolve - and Leeds East Airport is proud to be part of that progress.
Last week, VistaJet announced the introduction of a dedicated Citation XLS aircraft to the UK market, operated in partnership with Saxon Air. The move reflects a growing demand for domestic private flights across the UK, with key regional cities - including Leeds, highlighted as critical to this market growth.
It’s exciting to see Saxon Air, a long-standing user of Leeds East Airport and Church Fenton, playing a central role in this development. Known for their operational excellence and high safety standards, Saxon Air’s expanding reach reinforces the importance of regional airports like ours in connecting businesses and individuals with fast, flexible, and efficient travel options.
The Citation XLS, with its short-field performance and spacious cabin, is well-suited to airports like ourselves at Leeds East - offering direct access to the wider UK and Europe without the congestion of larger hubs. For our clients, that means less time spent travelling and more time where it matters.
At Leeds East Airport and Church Fenton, we’re committed to staying at the forefront of industry developments, whether that’s welcoming new aircraft, improving our facilities or working with leading aviation partners to meet demand. This news is another step forward for regional connectivity - and as a team here, we’re all very proud to be part of the story.
