SaxonAir Charter Limited is a private charter airline based at Norwich Airport that operates in the United Kingdom and Western Europe.
History
In 2007, Christopher Mace and James Palmer founded SaxonAir from an office in the back of a hangar at Norwich Airport. It operated an aircraft and helicopter for then chairman Graeme Kalbraier's businesses and made them available for charter.[1][2]
Roger Klyne purchased the business in 2009. It took over operation of aircraft he owned.[3] The airline's passengers included Meat Loaf and Debbie Harry.[4]
In Spring 2010, SaxonAir opened a £6m Business Aviation Centre at Norwich Airport[5] and the next year, announced that it had based a Citation Mustang at Thessaloniki Airport in Greece.[3]
