This strategic move unites two of the UK’s private aviation firms under the OPUL Jets brand, enhancing its global presence while preserving Wallcourt Aviation’s distinguished legacy of excellence in private jet charter.

A key priority of this acquisition is ensuring continuity. Wallcourt Aviation’s existing management, operational systems, and service standards will transition seamlessly to OPUL Jets, guaranteeing that clients will continue to experience the same level of professionalism, reliability and personalised service they have expected. The integration will be executed with minimal disruption, maintaining all key personnel and operational structures to uphold Wallcourt Aviation’s established reputation.

By incorporating Wallcourt Aviation’s expertise and fleet into its portfolio, OPUL Jets will expand its service offerings. It will provide clients with an even broader range of aircraft options and enhanced flexibility, whether for short-haul regional travel or long-range international journeys. This acquisition further strengthens OPUL Jets’ position in the luxury aviation sector, reaffirming its commitment to safety, convenience and exclusivity.

“Wallcourt Aviation has built an exceptional reputation in the industry and we are proud to welcome their team and expertise into the OPUL Jets family,” said Harry Ackerman, Group CEO of Megacorp Aviation, the parent company of OPUL Jets. “Our goal is to ensure a seamless transition for clients while leveraging this acquisition to enhance our bespoke aviation services on a global scale.”

UK joins key allies in drive to strengthen European defence industry before 2030
Image of the Remote-Controlled Howitzer 155mm (RCH 155) 52 calibre wheeled artillery system. Seen here at a military training area in Germany. The criticality of artillery fire has never been clearer. Automated artillery systems have packed a powerful punch on the battlefield in Ukraine, and RCH 155 will provide a modernised capability unparalleled in other artillery systems. RCH 155 delivers increased range and accuracy for artillery engagements, a high rate-of-fire of up to nine rounds-per-minute and possesses a powerful blend of tactical and operational mobility. Able to deliver multiple rounds onto a target simultaneously in a 360-degree arc at range, it also has a direct fire capability providing close range defence. As part of the Boxer family, it uses the common Boxer drive module, creating efficiencies in support through platform commonality and modularity, and improving interoperability.
