The United Kingdom's government air fleet is operated by 32 (The Royal) Squadron at RAF Northolt, west of London. King Charles III, the Prime Minister, Cabinet ministers, and members of the Royal Family travel on aircraft funded by the Ministry of Defence and the Government Car Service.
The main aircraft is a converted Airbus A321-200NX (G-GBNI) operated by Titan Airways under contract — re-registered from ZZ336 after the A330 Voyager was returned to primarily tanker duties. Two Dassault Falcon 900LX jets (G-ZABH and G-ZAHS) handle shorter European diplomatic hops, flying under the KRH645 / KRH646 callsigns.
The Royal Family additionally uses helicopters of the Royal Squadron and occasionally Charter aircraft. King Charles has been vocal about sustainability; his VIP jet travel generates significant media coverage any time he travels internationally.
