In March 2007, the company presented a Hawker 4000 business jet at Riga International Airport; Dienas Bizness reported that the company's aircraft were also used for flights by the President of Latvia and that VIP Avia had operated business-class flights for more than ten years.[3] In 2007, Aviation International News mentioned VIP Avia among business aviation operators in the newer European Union member states, describing the Riga-based operator as having three Hawker aircraft and a Challenger 604 in the charter market.[4]
