The fleet includes the Airbus A321-200NX G-GBNI and two Dassault Falcon 900LX jets, G-ZABH and G-ZAHS, which handle shorter European diplomatic hops. The aircraft fly under the KRH645 and KRH646 callsigns. King Charles III, the Prime Minister, Cabinet ministers, and members of the Royal Family travel on these aircraft.
