Long-time UK-based aviation services company Interflight is coming under a new brand, Voluxis, for its charter, aircraft sales, and management services. Led by a new management team that is headed by Ben Banda, Voluxis is providing charter services from bases in both London and Dubai. The company currently has two Hawkers—an 800XP and 800B—and a Falcon 2000 in its fleet.
Voluxis is incorporating a branding program that highlights the charter brokers with branded mats. Voluxis says it guarantees “no Voluxis branding either on the aircraft or inside the aircraft, ensuring the only branding a passenger will see is the broker's.”
The operator is offering 24-hour coverage and a flight attendant on flights. Banda joined Interflight in 2016, initially as a business and operations consultant, became director in 2017, and is now the accountable manager of Voluxis. He brings 20 years of experience to the role with a background in operations, air traffic control, and safety. This includes management of long-range business jets, and previous service with RMSI Rapid Deployment Medical & Rescue in Dubai, and Hangar8 in London, among others.
Voluxis and its predecessor Interflight has a nearly 45-year history that began in 1974 as Berrard Aviation, an operator of a Cessna 205 that flew leisure flights and was used for parachute training. Berrard officially became Interflight (Air Charter) Ltd. in 1985.
