This June, TAG Aviation will launch DeluxePad, a tailor-made iPad platform provided by AngloPhone SA, which will be available to clients on all charter aircraft. Cabin crew will be able to download international newspapers and magazines for client use when preparing a flight. The iPads will also feature editorial content, exclusively written for TAG Aviation.

The introduction of DeluxePad on TAG Aviation's charter fleet offers a paperless environment and easy access to a choice of daily newspapers and magazines from 100 countries in 80 languages, by using cutting-edge technology of Vancouver-based PressReader, the digital standard in newspapers and magazines.

Florent Sériès, vice president charter services, TAG Aviation Europe, said: “At TAG Aviation, we focus on delivering quality, flexible and innovative products. This new infrastructure allows us to offer our clients customised service and an enhanced travel experience”.

“TAG Aviation takes great pride in offering exceptional levels of personal service and flexibility,” added Mark Hollands-Martel, head of cabin services, TAG Aviation Europe. “Offering our clients a wide range of newspapers from around the globe, alongside interesting editorial content, follows our philosophy to the letter”.

John François Béguin, ceo and chairman of AngloPhone SA and co-founder of DeluxePad, said: “Providing a combination of daily press and interesting content in a single off-line device for a demanding clientele was a challenge we could not have met without the assistance and feedback of TAG Aviation's and PressReader's staff”. 

TAG Aviation's bases in Europe and Asia have a charter fleet of over 50 aircraft, comprising of more than 20 different aircraft types. The operator's bespoke products - Call & Fly, TAG Account and TAG Lease – provide clients with flexible and convenient travel options as well as 24/7 support by a dedicated team of experienced staff.
