In 2022, AirX participated in humanitarian relief efforts supporting Ukrainian refugees by operating flights delivering aid and transporting displaced people from Eastern Europe.

In 2025, AirX unveiled a new aircraft livery on its Bombardier Challenger 850 fleet, marking the beginning of a fleet-wide livery rollout.

In 2025, AirX completed a €115 million corporate bond issuance arranged by Arctic Securities to support fleet expansion. The bond was reportedly oversubscribed and backed by some of the company’s aircraft.

In 2026, AirX received approval from Saudi Arabia's General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) under the Part 129 regulatory framework, allowing the company to expand its private jet charter operations within the Kingdom.

In 2026, AirX reported increased demand for private jet charter flights during heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, as clients sought to leave the region. Founder John Matthews stated that demand had increased as commercial airline schedules became limited or unreliable.
