History
On 5 April 2007, SaxonAir started trading from a small office in the back of a hangar at Norwich International Airport, with co-founders Christopher Mace and James Palmer, and was overseen by Chairman and associated co-founded Graeme Kalbraier. Kalbraier owns and runs an insurance call handling centre in Ipswich, UK called Call Connection. SaxonAir's primary role was to operate Kalbraier's own aircraft for company use, and when not being used by him or his staff, to offer his aircraft out to the air charter market, for ad hoc, bespoke, private air charter.
On 11 July 2008, SaxonAir gained acceptance of its own Air Operator's Certificate/AOC. On the same date SaxonAir Charter Limited attained its United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority Type B Operating Licence, permitting it to carry passengers, cargo and mail on aircraft with 19 seats or less.
Once the AOC had been issued SaxonAir agreed a management contract on a second aircraft, this time based at Nottingham East Midlands Airport. This aircraft though is no longer operated by SaxonAir was withdrawn from its operations in June 2009.
On 15 May 2009 Mr Klyne purchased the company from share holders with former shareholders Christopher Mace becoming Managing Director and James Palmer becoming the Commercial Manager.
When Mr Klyne bought SaxonAir, he transferred the operation of two aircraft owned by Klyne Aviation, a Hawker 400XP, and a Citation Mustang. A Beechcraft King Air 350 on order by Klyne Aviation for June 2009 delivery will also be operated by SaxonAir.
SaxonAir plan to build a £6m Business Aviation Centre at Norwich International Airport which is due to be completed in the spring of 2010, which will be capable of handling aircraft as big as Gulfstream's and the Global Express.
